Benito Albino Mussolini was the illegitimate son of Benito Mussolini, Duce of Italian Fascism from 1922 to 1943, and Ida Irene Dalser. His mother, mentally ill, persisted in vocally claiming her role as Mussolini's wife, and even publicly denounced the Duce as a traitor, so she was interned in a psychiatric hospital. Benito Albino Mussolini was abducted by government agents and was told his mother was dead. In 1932, he was adopted as an orphan by Giulio Bernardi. Initially educated at a Barnabite college in Moncalieri, he enrolled in the Italian Royal Navy, and always remained under close surveillance by the fascist government. Nevertheless, he persisted in stating Benito Mussolini was his father and was eventually forcibly interned in an asylum in Mombello, Province of Milan, where he died on 26 August 1942.
