The relationship between Claretta Petacci and Benito Mussolini, a love story unique in its kind, among pleasures, hysterical scenes, fainting spells, illnesses, anger, jealousy, possessiveness, love and hate, music, poetry, readings and art, and last but not least politics. An opportunity to draw attention to aspects such as Catholicism, local and Roman familism, the bourgeoisie, showing at the same time (despite the deep aversion aroused by Claretta and her family in the loyalists of the RSI) the fascist side, even in its most radical version. An all-female representation of love and sex in the high spheres of power at the time of fascist Italy. Speakers: Richard Bosworth Mimmo Franzinelli
