Romano Floriani Mussolini, great-grandson of the Italian dictator, was linked to Lazio’s match this Sunday against Hellas Verona for Italian Championship.
Floriani Mussolini signed his first contract with Lazio in March. Coming from the base divisions of the Roman club, the 18-year-old defender – who claims to have no interest in politics – is the son of Alessandra Mussolini, granddaughter of the ‘Duce’ Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), who created in 1919 the first fascist militias .
Lazio’s ‘ultra’ fans have taken part in several racist and anti-Semitic acts in recent years.
A new controversy this week involved the Italian capital club, with the release of a video in which a club employee with an eagle on his arm (the club’s symbol) gives the fascist salute to the fans, who responded with shouts of ‘Duce , Duce’.
