Nostradamus has predicted:

A New Fascist government in Salo

According to my own method of interpretation,
only french lines in dark blue will be analysed and interpreted


Quatrain X-64

Pleure Milan, pleure Lucques, Florence,
Que ton grand Duc sur le char montera:
Changer le siège près de Venise s'avance,
Lorsque Colonne Rome changera.

Weep, people of Milan, Lucca, Florence.
When your great Duc will climb on the chariot.
To move the seat closer to Venice,
When the roman columns will be replaced.




Analysis:

siège
Salo
colonne

Rome


seat, seat of government, head-office, headquarters. Here, we have the seat of government.
Salo, Town of Italy, near Venice.
colonne d'infanterie, colonne de camions, chars d'assaut, column of infantry, column of trucks, tanks.
synecdoque for Italy.
Interpretation

When german troops take the place of the italian army,
The seat of government is moved to Salo, near Venice.

History

We have seen in the previous interpretation that Mussolini was freed from his prison on Gran Sasso. From there he had been taken to Germany where he remained at Hitler's disposal. These two lines refer to the transfer of the fascist government in Salo, near Venice, because the german army had then retreated to the north of Italy, and Hitler would certainly have a better control from that location:

Hitler and Mussolini: a last summit meeting
[P.447] Salo, september 23, 1943
The Duke is back. Coming back from Germany, Benito Mussolini just established the foundations of a new regime [changer le siège] at Lac de Garde, in Salo. [près de Venise s'avance] After he was freed from his prison on Gran Sasso by the commandos of captain SS Otto Skorzeny, Mussolini had been transferred to Germany in Munich, then to Hitler's headquarters. The Fuhrer had apparently convinced, or forced him to come back to active political life... .
...On the 18, on Radio-Munich, he [Mussolini] announced the reformation [changer le siège] of the disbanded fascist party headed by Pavolini. He took it out on king Victor-Emmanuel and announced the return of the Republic. Finally, he reaffirmed his fidelity to the Axis.
After the armistice, the Germans took control of all important towns of Italy, with Rome as their first target:
[P.443] Rome, september 10, 1943.
The Germans reacted swifly to the italian capitulation by launching the operation ACHSE [AXE]. A few hours after the radio broadcast of marechal Badoglio, general Von Vietinghoff, commanding the 10th german army, launched paratroopers and a Panzer division to occupy Rome. [colonne Rome changera]. The motorized corps of general Carboni disintegrated under the pressure of the germans. Its five divisions capitulated after only a few hours of fighting at the gates of Rome.
