Paolozzi attached great importance to his academic posts - notably as tutor in ceramics at the Royal College of Art throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and as professor of sculpture at Munich University from 1981 to 1991 - and showed unflagging loyalty to those who shared his commitment. http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/04/23/db2301.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/04/23/ixportal.html      Guardian Sir Eduardo Paolozzi Paolozzi's father was an admirer of Mussolini and sent Eduardo to a fascist youth camp in Italy every summer where he acquired a liking for badges, uniforms and aeroplanes.
