Anna Maria Mussolini

Italian radio presenter and Benito Mussolini's daughter (1929–1968)

Anna Maria Mussolini (3 September 1929 – 25 April 1968) was an Italian radio presenter. She was the fifth child of Benito Mussolini and Rachele Guidi.

Biography

Anna Maria Mussolini is the last-born child of Benito Mussolini and Rachele Guidi, born on September 3, 1929, at Villa Carpena in Forlì. Her early years were marked by tragedy when she was afflicted with severe polio at the age of seven, causing permanent disabilities and deeply affecting her father. Raised in the opulence of Villa Torlonia in Rome, her family's primary residence, her childhood took a tumultuous turn with her father's arrest in 1943, leading to confinement with her mother and brother Romano at Rocca delle Caminate.

In the aftermath of Mussolini's fall from power, Anna Maria, alongside her mother and brother, attempted to flee to Switzerland in April 1945 but was turned back at the Chiasso border. Their subsequent journey, marked by temporary refuge in Como and eventual arrest by the National Liberation Committee, ended in internment at various locations before exile on the Island of Ischia.

Post-war, Anna Maria distanced herself from politics and embarked on a career in radio broadcasting at RAI in the 1960s. Using her husband's surname, she hosted a popular radio program, "Rotocalco musicale," showcasing notable personalities from the entertainment and music worlds. However, her anonymity was shattered when her true identity was revealed, leading to controversy and dismissal from her position.

Later, Anna Maria met presenter Giuseppe Negri (known as "Nando Pucci") in Cortina D'Ampezzo on New Year's Eve between 1959 and 1960. They married on June 11, 1960, and had two daughters named Silvia (1961) and Edda Negri Mussolini (1963), the latter later serving as mayor of Gemma

    BENITO MUSSOLINI AND HIS SURVIVORS
    by Josephine Cowdery • Text and Photographs © Copyright 2007, 2009, 2010

    Most people with an interest in European World War II history are at least somewhat familiar with Benito Mussolini’s stormy rise to power in Italy and his 13 year rule. On 31 October 1922, at age 39, he became the youngest Premier in the history of Italy. He legally reached power in accordance with the Statuto Albertino, the Italian Constitution. The purpose of this article is to familiarize readers with the story of members of Mussolini’s immediate family before and after his death at the hands of Italian partisans in the last week of April 1945. Strange as it may seem to those familiar with the postwar history of Hitler’s relatives and families of other high-ranking Nazis, the Mussolini family suffered little and gained much from their relationship with the Italian dictator.

    From 1925 until the mid 1930s Fascism was popular in Italy and experienced little opposition. It evolved into a new political and economic system that combined totalitarianism, nationalism and anti-communism, designed to bind all classes together under a capitalist system (the "Third Way"). This was a new system in which the state took control of the organization of vital industries. In the beginning Mussolini was given support from the full political spectrum in Italy, from leftists to democrats.

    Slowly Mussolini started to dismantle parliament democratically with legislation that they had appr

    Biography

    The last daughter of Benito Mussolini and Rachele Guidi, Anna was born on 3 September 1929 in Villa Carpena [it], in the homonymous hamlet of Forlì. At the age of seven, she was struck by a severe form of viral poliomyelitis, which caused her permanent problems and caused her father to have a depressive crisis which led him close to abandoning power. She spent a wealthy childhood in Villa Torlonia, the Roman residence of the family. After Mussolini's arrest in July 1943, she was confined with her mother and brother Romano at the Rocca delle Caminate, the family's summer residence, from which it was liberated by the Nazis shortly after her father.

    In April 1945, with the fall of the fascist regime, Anna tried to escape to Switzerland with his mother and brother, but they were rejected at the Chiasso border. The Swiss customs officers would have allowed the entry of only Anna Maria for hospitalization, but her mother refused.

    Having taken refuge for a few days in the villa of a soldier in Como, they learned from the extraordinary edition of L'Unità of the killing of Mussolini. On 30 April, the Nat
