King Umberto II (1904-1983) and Queen Marie-José (1906-2001)

Hardly to believe such a story.Queen Maria-Josè was a clear antifascist and met Mussolini very few times in private.

I agree, Marie Jose was clearly antifascist and the article cites a letter from Duce's son puts it suspect.

Rubbish! Queen Maria José always hated Mussolini and his accolites. She appeared to be secretly involved with the Resistance, and she was also said to have taken part in a plot to kill Mussolini. I highly doubt Romano Mussolini could have ever written such a letter. He was a painter ( he exhibited his paintings in a nearby town here, and I had the chance to see him many a time, though I never talked to him. He seemed to be a gentle person), and a valued jazz pianist. Ironically his father prohibited the Italians from playing jazz or listening to it, because it was the music of the Black.
As far as I know he never showed any interest in politics.
