Romano Floriani Mussolini scored winner against CesenaItalian football federation launches investigation
The Italian football federation has opened an investigation after supporters of the second division club, Juve Stabia, appeared to celebrate a goal scored by Benito Mussolini’s great-grandson with fascist salutes.
Footage captured during the team’s win at home to Cesena showed the moments after Romano Floriani Mussolini, 21, scored the only goal. As the announcer calls out “Romano” seven times, dozens of fans appeared to respond each time with the fascist salute and enthusiastic shouts of “Mussolini”.
