Martial law was declared, Mussolini was arrested and negotiations were opened with the Allies. When the German army responded the new Italian government was forced to flee to Pescara and Brindisi and accept Allied protection.
Badoglio signed the Italian unconditional surrender on September 23 in Malta and his government declared war on Germany on October 13. Badoglio did not head the government for long, following the rescue of Mussolini, the liberation of Rome and increasingly strong opposition he was replaced by Ivanoe Bonomi and other committed anti-Fascists.
