The post-war period saw Italy facing significant economic and social challenges. It was during this time that Mussolini began to develop his fascist ideology, emphasizing nationalism, authoritarianism, and anti-communism. The show depicts the formation of the Fascist movement, with Mussolini at its helm, and the March on Rome in 1922, which saw Mussolini appointed as Prime Minister.
The series begins with Mussolini's childhood in Dovia di Predappio, a small town in Italy. Born on July 29, 1883, Benito was the eldest of three children to Rosa Maltoni and Alessandro Mussolini. His early life was marked by a complex relationship with his parents, particularly his father, who was a blacksmith and a socialist sympathizer. This early exposure to socialist ideology would later influence Mussolini's own politics.
"Son of the Century" Season 01 provides a compelling and insightful look at the early life and rise to power of Benito Mussolini. The show sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his dictatorship and the consequences of his actions. As a historical drama, it serves as a reminder of the dangers of authoritarianism and the importance of understanding the complexities of history.
