Floriani Mussolini is the third child of Alessandra Mussolini and husband Mauro Floriani, and great-grandson of Benito Mussolini, who was prime minister of Italy from 1922 to 1943 following a fascist coup. “Here at Lazio I’m judged only for the way I play and not because my surname is Mussolini,” he told newspaper Il Messaggero.
