Mussolini Novel to Be Film by Alfredo Bini
Producer Alfredo Bini plans a film adaptation of Benito Mussolini’s anticlerical novel Claudia Particella the Cardinal’s Mistress set in the 16th century. The work, published in 57 installments in a Trento newspaper in 1910, was ignored during the Fascist era when Mussolini portrayed himself as a church protector.
