ITALY: GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF DICTATOR BENITO MUSSOLINI IS BAPTISED

(22 Oct 1995) English/Nat The newest member of the Mussolini clan has been baptised in the Italian town where the dictator great granddaughter was born and buried. The child's mother is Alessandra Mussolini, a parliamentary deputy for a right wing party and granddaughter of the man known as Il Duce. Also at the ceremony in Predappio were the dictator's two sons, Romano and Vittorio Mussolini. The church of Predappio in the central Romagna region where the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was baptised and in whose crypt he lies buried. Today his great granddaughter Caterina Romana Floriani was also baptised here. Among the family attending the ceremony were Il Duce's two sons, Romano, who is Alessandra's father and a jazz musician, and Vittorio. But all eyes were on the new member of the Mussolini clan, baby Caterina, who arrived with her mother, the right wing parliamentary deputy Alessandra. Her mother looked delighted. SOUNDBITE: I don't know. I can say what I feel and it's the best day of my life. SUPER CAPTION: Alessandra Mussolini, Italian parliamentary deputy and granddaughter of Benito Mussolini. Then the mother had to forge her way through the photographers, a taste of the attention she can expect to receive, if only because of her name. Inside the church the child was baptised in a traditional Roman Catholic rite. The baby was dressed in an embroidered bonnet and white dress made in 1927 by the dictator's wife Rachele for the baptism of Alessandra's father. Embroidered on the dress is an "M" and the date 1927 in Roman numerals, as the years were indicated during the Fascist era. Among the relatives missing from the ceremony was the baby's great aunt Sophia Loren, who now lives in Los Angeles. The actress is the sister of Alessandra's mother. Any hopes the child might be allowed to forget its heritage were dashed when her mother declared that she plans to hang a poster of Benito Mussolini in the child's room. After the baptism the family visited the crypt where the dictator is buried. Mussolini may be gone, but his name at least, lives on.
