Mussolini’s Mistress Kept A Detailed Diary

Weird History | January 23, 2026



Italian dictator Benito Mussolini maintained relationships with several mistresses – as many as 14 at a time, according to some – but none stuck by him quite as ardently as Clara Petacci. Petacci, his preferred paramour, kept a diary about her time as Mussolini’s mistress that provides intimate insights into her lover’s life and sexual behavior. Although never married to Mussolini, she was the woman behind one of the most powerful leaders of the twentieth century and died alongside him as a result. even perished by his side.

    Now, I'm traumatized by this video, thinking all the canned peaches I ate with mysterious tiny black legs, floating around in heavy syrup.
    Pondering now 🤔
    Thank you for that revealing 😢

    YouTube does not need to hide the picture of Mussolini and Petacci. It is common knowledge to anybody who went to High School that they were hanged by the feet. That they were spit on and pelted with garbage. This is not some kind of "dirty secret" the public should never know of. It is called history. YouTube has no right to decide what is proper and what is not!

    She's the same kind of woman who writes letters to convicted serial killers in prison and gets with them the second they're out. Thinking their life is going to become some sort of beauty and the beast fairy-tale.

    Mussolini was small and bald and fat from an early age and strutted and jestered like a Peacock at political rallies for the cameras, it was laughable, I can not understand why any woman would even find him remotely attractive, much less have sex with him.

    A person who is true to his ideology can only become dictator. In this era of democracy, is there lack of people who tend to behave as dictator and use democracy in their advantage? Mussolini's beloved chose to die with him while there was opportunity for her to escape leaving him alone. I salute her devotion to him. May God keep them united for ever. Amen.
