1. I need to reread that bit of history. Was the mistress involved in Italian policies or just

collateral damage?

2. Her father was a RW ultra Catholic and a doctor to priests

She was a child when Mussolini rose to power, and was raised in a Fascist household. She met him when she was 20, and he made her his mistress almost immediately.

I think she also was a victim, and some historians think her father basically groomed her for Mussolini.
