The thing that I hate the most is when people have prejudice - when they see me as the granddaughter of Benito Mussolini and not as Alessandra. That, really, I don't like. I didn't know my grandfather. I am me.
Obviously, I pay for the fact I was an actress once. But it was a job like any other, because I never did anything scandalous.
If my name were Pasolini or Rossi, my life would be easier. But I never thought of changing it. That would mean that I am ashamed to be Alessandra Mussolini, which is stupid because Alessandra Mussolini never did anything to be ashamed of.
With his gigantic personality, my grandfather burst onto the great political panorama of that era made up only of little men with little ideas.
My mother wanted my sister and me to live a normal life. I always picked friends who weren't impressed with my family ties.
I am not docile. If I see that something is wrong, I will say so. I am not sweet.
