There is controversy over an alleged interest of the Federlpisalò, a team linked to the city of Salò, and newly promoted to Serie B, in Romano Floriani Mussolini, a descendant of Benito
Romano is a right-back registered with Lazio and is 20 years old. His mother is Alessandra Mussolini, his ancestor the Duce. And there has been talk of him being loaned out to Serie B, in the town where the Italian Social Republic was established eighty years ago.
Feralpisalò president Giuseppe Pasini spoke live to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPlay channel, to comment on the market rumours associating his team with Alessadra Mussolini’s son.
“There is no interest on our part in Romano Floriani Mussolini. But I don’t find anything wrong with it that a boy from 2003, with a second surname like Mussolini, could even possibly come to Salò,’ Pasini explained. “If this is a country where we talk about inclusion, we can’t set ourselves such limits.”
“Nor can we make comparisons with a grandfather, great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather who has that surname. The boy has to do his own growing up. What can he do if Mussolini is his ancestor?” the club president continued.
‘We know little about Serie B, we face it with humility and a low profile,’ Pasini then said about the club’s promotion. “We will seek salvation, but there is a lot of enthusiasm because promotion was unexpected, and it came with youth. We have broken a taboo and we are confident in our staff. However, it will be a difficult year, of great sacrifices. “

“Yesterday we filed the development plan to go from 2400 to 4100 attendances at the stadium,” said Pasini again, “although the work will be completed around November. Right now we had the chance to go to Piacenza. “
“Last year we came in at 2.2 million. We are not the ones who spent the most, but neither did we spend the least. The favourites, for example, spent more than us. Today we have set a budget of around 11-12 million euro, then we will evaluate what to do in January. The Lega Pro is expensive because there are no television rights’.
‘I have great memories of Napoli and De Laurentiis, who is a great president,’ concluded the interviewee. “He has his own line and I like it because he puts money in and has his own behaviour. He goes ahead with his own ideas, even having had to exonerate Spalletti. We won’t have a friendly this year, we weren’t allowed to, so we’ll do it with Torino. “
