The great-grandson of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini announced that he has signed a professional contract with Serie A's Lazio.
Romano Floriani Mussolini has featured as a right-back for the U-19 Lazio side over the last month. He signed a three-year contract to remain at the Rome-based club.
"Thinking back to where I started, I'm very happy to have signed my first professional contract with Lazio, and to spend another three years in this jersey," Mussolini wrote on Instagram.
The 18-year-old is the youngest son of former actress and European Parliament member Alessandra Mussolini, who entered politics in the 1990s as a member of the Movimento Sociale Italiano, which was a party formed by Benito Mussolini's fascist supporters after the end of World War II.
