Has the surname Mussolini

It is not easy to escape the ghosts that haunt you. Roman Benito Floriani Mussolini (1/27/2003, Rome) and that comes at these times where the heel positions on the far right are white. The last name weighs and the poor boy must deal with it. His mother did not help, Alessandra Mussolinihas been a European parliamentarian for Forza Italia and? Roman it was written on its back at its beginning Floriani M. and now no longer hides the last name of bad memory: F. Mussolini. Even he himself asked for a name Roman Mussolini.

Just football

Roman He just wants to play and be away from the world of football. I hope he will be appreciated for his achievements in the field of play and not for his last name. He has stated that he is not interested in politics at the moment, although he has not explained his position either. “If my last name affects my career, it will be a big disappointment. What can I do about it? What counts is what I do on the field of play,” he said in an interview in La Gazzetta dello Sportwhere he talked about his great-grandfather Benito Mussolini: “He is an important person in Italybut here we are in 2024 and things have changed. Things linked to my last name do not interest me. There will always be some prejudice, but my work has nothing to do with that,” he said. ‘Il Duce‘ ruled Italy from 1922, established himself as a dictator as he implemented a fascist system until he was arrested and shot in 1945.

The controversy

The historical burden of the family puts him in a complicated situation: he does not have to give up his surname, but it indicates that there are nostalgic fans who can shout his name without complications. This happened when the team to which he was loaned by lazioThe Juve Stabiadeal with Cesena in Series B. Romano scored the only goal of the match and, so far, of the season and ‘Le Vespe’ fans reacted by giving the fascist salute and chanting his name. This was his first goal as a professional and the inevitable happened: the ultras of Stabia They gave free rein to their joy through the ‘greeting of Rome’ characteristic of the dark ages of ‘Il Duce‘.

Several groups, sports journalists and political figures from the Italian left have questioned the permissibility of this type of expression on a football field. Meanwhile, the Juve Stabia did not give any statement about the acts issued. We already know about the coexistence of ultra groups with fearful leaders. Roman He was a fixture in the eleven Stabia and have played all but one of the league games so far. His goal unleashed demands from fans of lazioa club that for many years has been prone to fascist greetings and far-right demonstrations without any shame: “Hearing your last name is something very big and fills the void of many Italians. We will follow you with the hope of seeing you score again and also in the national team”; “I’m a little nostalgic”; “I respect Il Duce,” were some of the comments from fans of ‘I’m Biancocelesti‘, many without any reference to Romano’s goal or football but rather a reminder or a political position.

Developing a footballer

Roman He started playing soccer in the lower categories of Rome to move to lazio at 13 years old. Assigned to Vigor Percontisigned his contract in 2021 and his career as a professional began on loan at Pescara for a year and then continued his journey to Juve Stabia.

Blood flowed through his veinsIl Duce‘ but a few drops will also bring the beauty and talent of an artist from the golden age of hollywood number Sophia Loren because she is his aunt. Let’s hope he continues to develop his football skills and the pride of the surname is only because of what we see in the green.
