The beauty was hung upside down in Piazza Loreto in Milan, with her loose skirt hanging down, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin. A colonel soldier couldn't bear to see her humiliated after death, so he took off his belt and tied her skirt around her thighs.
This "naked" woman was named Clara Petacci (clarapetacci). She was born with a good skin. She not only fascinated Mussolini when she was alive, but also fascinated him after her death. The onlookers swallowed their saliva and silently admired the proud body, completely ignoring the guilt caused by peeping at the body.
In the final analysis, the reason why she ended up like this was because of the man hanging upside down beside her: Mussolini, the Italian dictator and founder of fascism.
The first meeting between Bettasi and Mussolini was in 1931.
At that time, Mussolini's power was already in an absolute monarchy. He has a highly loyal "Blackshirt Army" under his command. Only one riot overthrew the Liberal regime and forced the dissolution of Parliament. Mussolini had the final say on all state affairs. Although Beta's background is not that prominent, it is still middle class. Her father was the Pope's personal physician and was respected by the people.
The 49-year-old Mussolini was deeply fascinated by Bettasi when he first saw her. Although the girl is only 19 years old, there is a big age gap, but Mussolini is the country's top leader, and China has an additional atmosphere of worship. Winning this ignorant girl was easy.
"Dear, you know? I long to have you, your body, your taste, everything about you. You will be mine tomorrow."
Relying on sweet words After chasing after each other, the two finally established a romantic relationship, but Mussolini's identity was too sensitive. He was afraid that someone would use his influence to develop his own influence, so he refused to register for marriage, so Baita Temple was actually his favorite mistress.
After this, Mussolini enjoyed another ten years, during which time Bettasi was deeply loved. Every time he travels, countless supporters gather around him. The signs they held in their hands and the slogans they shouted were all "Bettasi". Everyone wanted to see this "Mother of the Nation", and some even rushed through the police and risked their lives to get her. 's signature. Bettasi was not offended by the seemingly rude behavior, her vanity loved the response.
However, as Mussolini’s dictatorship intensified its massacre of the people, formed an Axis alliance with Nazi Germany, and carried out large-scale military expansion abroad, a group of far-sighted people spoke out against it.
Beta's father, a respected old doctor, suddenly appeared in the protest team and watched his well-trained daughter mix with the war demon. He was heartbroken and died many times to persuade his daughter to stay away from Mussolini. But Bettasi has always been obsessed with her dreams. When she was with Mussolini, she could always feel the satisfaction brought by vanity. In order to ensure that her status as "the wife of the head of state" would not be deprived of her, she decisively severed ties with her father and repeatedly accused her father in public of being a traitor to the country and a criminal who could never be forgiven.
However, by 1943, Bettasi's dream was on the verge of collapse. A dismissal order sent Mussolini into the abyss. The couple are being held in a jail in Mount Aberg. There are cold iron bars inside the cage, and there are endless abuses outside the cage. At this time, Bettasi faced two choices: either get rid of Mussolini and return to the life of ordinary people; or stay with Mussolini and know what it was without even thinking about it.
The two choices made Bettaxi deeply embarrassed. She thought about leaving this man several times, but in the end she could not make up her mind. Just when Bettaxi continued to hesitate, things took a turn for the better.
After the fall of Mussolini, the Italian government was taken over by Marshal Bardoglio. His first action was to sign an armistice agreement with the Allied forces. Italy fell to the Allied side, which made Hitler angry. Seeing that the fascist camp had lost a strong partner on the Mediterranean coast, he decided to send troops to rescue Mussolini.
In September 1943, the German Air Force came over the Abruzzi Mountains. Relying on aerial fire suppression and the reunion of ground suicide squads, the prison guards were torn apart in an instant. It only took 5 minutes for Mussolini and Bettasi to be rescued. After Mussolini was released from prison, he established a puppet regime called the "Italian Socialist Republic", and Bettasi had another chance to continue his dream.
However, whether trying to rescue Mussolini or rebuild the regime, the reality of the total collapse of fascism cannot be reversed. On April 30, 1945, Hitler shot himself in the basement of the Chancellery, marking the complete defeat of fascist forces.
Mussolini was frightened and prepared to escape.
The night before leaving, Mussolini just held Bettasi’s hand and said something meaningful: “You’d better stay in Italy. As long as you are not with me, others will not It will make things difficult for you."
It sounds like Mussolini is entirely thinking about Bettasi, but this is not the case. In Mussolini's view, escaping with Bettasi was definitely a burden. It would be better to let her die than bring her to cause trouble. At that time, the voices criticizing Mussolini had already started a prairie fire. As a woman who had bossed him around for years, people would never let her go.
In fact, Beta saw through this and thought he could live by Mussolini's side. She leaned on Mussolini's chest and begged: "My only request is to be with you."
Looking at Bettasi's cute look, Mussolini was not cruel enough to keep her. Down. Escorted by several attendants, the two of them rushed all the way to Switzerland. Seeing the border line in front of them, the sudden gunfire scared them back again and again. The Italian guerrillas rushed up from a short distance and surrounded the destitute people.
In the end, Mussolini and Bettasi, along with several entourages, were taken to Milan Square and executed. Seeing the several corpses lying in a pool of blood, the people showed no mercy and hung them upside down from a ceiling in the square, leaving them to be exposed to the scorching sun.
Beta once had supreme glory, but all this glory came from Mussolini. It was precisely because of this vanity that her tragic life ended. If she had not met Mussolini, she might have lived a peaceful life.
