The Hitler Supporting Dictator’s Son Who Became a Jazz Musician

History Documentaries

Romano Full was a well-known jazz musician in Italy during the second half of the twentieth century. But for a time, few people knew he was actually a son of one of the world’s most infamous dictators, and he’d changed his name in order to protect himself and his career. Full’s father, Benito Mussolini, created the Italian Fascist Party in 1915 and became prime minister of the country in 1922. He made sweeping social changes, reduced unemployment, and for a time, earned the respect of his countrymen who nicknamed him “Il Duce” (The Leader). Mussolini made a military pact with Adolf Hitler in 1939, forcing the country into World War II in 1941.
