Edvige Mussolini (November 10, 1888 - May 20, 1952) was Benito Mussolini's sister, for whom he always had great affection. She had five children. Her son Giuseppe Mancini, born in 1924, was murdered in Rovetta on April 28, 1945. Someone like Adolf Eichmann could not resist evil. The righteous, on the other hand, is dominated by the banality of good. Donna Edvige had done nothing evil, because she was a woman seduced by good. She had not climbed two floors to tell the German commando on the middle floor of her house. No, she had not, and yet she was the sister of the Duce who had signed the racial laws of '38 and authorized the deportations; she had been by his side in Salò and had cried all her tears because she had lost a son, a brother and a son-in-law on the same day. Cristina Petit & Albert Szegö In casa di Donna Mussolini Solferino, Milan, 2023. My Brother Benito by Edvige Mussolini is a book that had to be published because it shows the other side of the Duce of Fascism, his human side. His sister Edvige shows that she understood the deep reasons behind some of his otherwise inexplicable decisions. Corriere della Sera
