Il Duce's last son, Romano Mussolini, dies at 78


Jazz pianist Romano Mussolini devoted his life to music (ANSA) - Rome, February 3 - Romano Mussolini, the third and youngest son of Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, died on last Friday at the age of 78 . An internationally recognised jazz pianist as well as an accomplished painter, Romano Mussolini tried throughout his life to steer clear of politics and devote himself to his art .
Although he always remained loyal to his father's memory, he avoided speaking of him publicly until late in life, when he finally published two books of memoirs, one of them called "My Father, Il Duce" . I worked with him some years ago, and was a fantastic concert!
Here the photogallery of the funeral in Rome where the nostalgic ones of the old fascist party have paid the extreme salute to the great artist son of the Duce.
