Jewish groups and Holocaust survivors have protested to Apple over Italy's current best-selling iPhone application: a collection of the speeches of Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator.

Demand for "iMussolini", subtitled "The man who changed the history of our country", has risen to the point where it is being downloaded 1,000 times a day according to Luigi Marino, 25, its creator.

It is more popular than a video game based on the film Avatar and an X-ray machine app which "allows you to see your friends naked".

The app, which costs 79 Euro cents, contains audio, video and text of 100 speeches dating to 1914. Mr Marino said today that it had been downloaded 6,000 times since it was launched earlier this month, shortly before Italy marked Holocaust Remembrance Day and just days after Pope Benedict XVI paid a visit to the Rome synagogue.
