On October 28, 1989, Alessandra married the customs officer Mauro Floriani [1] . They have three children: Katerina, Clarissa and Romano, named after their grandfather. For about a year she fought for her three children to be allowed to bear the name of Mussolini [2] . She repeatedly stated that she was proud of her famous relative, but in this case she defended not so much the honor of her grandfather, as her rights as women. Alessandra managed to achieve his goal, but the process was long, tedious and quite expensive.
Few can afford to protect their rights in this way.
