Betasi and Mussolini
She was not Mussolini's wife, nor Mussolini's official wife, just one of Mussolini's many lovers, but she was the one who accompanied Mussolini to the end, even before her death, she blocked the gun for him, why would she be willing to do so?
Good home
On February 28, 1912, Clara. Betasi was born in Italy, his father was the Pope's personal doctor, and his sister was a well-known actor at that time, so betasi had good living conditions from birth, and her childhood not only had rich material conditions, but also a good education, such a family environment, naturally cultivated Betasi's unique temperament.
Beautiful bettassie
When she grew up, Betasi also looked very outstanding, blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin and beauty, was a famous local beauty, and many people came to the door to propose marriage.
However, her marriage is not something she can decide, and under the discretion of her family, she eventually married a pilot and became a pilot's wife, but she was not very satisfied with the marriage, because she had admired Mussolini since she was a child, and hoped that she would be able to marry a figure like Mussolini in the future.
Not willing to be lonely
His husband was only a pilot, not enough to give her access to the Italian high-level at that time, but the lonely Betasi naturally did not be constrained, but used his status as the pilot's wife to make friends with the celebrities of the time, and on a fortuitous occasion, Betasi finally met his idol Mussolini.

Late Mussolini
Falling in love
However, Mussolini, as a veteran of the love scene, naturally did not let go of such a beautiful and outstanding Betasi, and began to pursue Betasi madly, recording Mussolini's confession in Betasi's diary: "Honey, do you know? I'm crazy to have you, your body, your taste, your everything, tomorrow you will be mine! ”

At that time, Betasi was very touched, seeing that his idol was so obsessed with himself, and also confessed, naturally becoming one of Mussolini's many lovers.
But it wasn't until many years later that Betasi learned that Mussolini had said this to almost all lovers.
Betasi
Difficult to straighten out
Bettas was only 24 years old when he became Mussolini's lover, and when Mussolini learned that she was married, he immediately transferred her husband to Japan, away from Italy, to prevent him from disturbing his own mess with Betasi.
With his outstanding appearance, Betasi gradually penetrated into Mussolini's heart, even if Mussolini had a wife at the time, in his heart, Betasi was the one who could really influence him.
Betasi
However, Betasi was naturally not willing to become a lover without a name, he wanted to marry Mussolini, and repeatedly coddled Mussolini, asking him to divorce, and eventually he could become the first lady of Italy.
However, Mussolini did not agree, and each request was rejected by Mussolini:
"For me, the family is definitely a part of my life that cannot be changed, and to let me destroy the family is equivalent to making me commit suicide, I don't like it and will never commit suicide." 」
Never leave
Hearing Mussolini's words, Betasi realized that he was just Mussolini's plaything, but he did not choose to leave him, but continued to stay with Mussolini, because she knew that she was deeply in love with him and could not leave him.
At the same time, Betasi, as a lover, actually got the love of many Italians, and every time he accompanied Mussolini out, many Mussolini supporters would hold up signs with the names of two people, and even some people ran to the front to let Betasi sign him in spite of obstacles.
This greatly satisfied Betasi's vanity, because she found herself a princess, because she wanted to be a princess since she was a child.
Betasi with a princess dream
On July 25, 1943, Mussolini was relieved of his duties, but Betasi remained on guard of Mussolini, and later German paratroopers succeeded in rescuing Mussolini and supporting him to form a puppet government.
After learning that Mussolini had escaped, Betasi defied all odds and continued to Mussolini's side, but this time it did not last long.
Doomsday love
In April 1945, with the defeat of the German army, Mussolini also knew that his end was not far away and was ready to flee, but the escape was very difficult, and he did not take his wife and children with him.
First of all, he asked his wife to flee to Switzerland with her children, and if she could not escape, she would throw herself to the Allies, after all, his wife did not participate in Mussolini's political activities, but was just a housewife, and the Allies should not embarrass them, and then the wife obeyed him and began the escape with the children.

As for Betasi, Mussolini also advised her to leave, but Betasi did not listen and insisted on accompanying him, and Mussolini had to take Betasi and his cronies and start the escape.
On April 27, 1945, Mussolini and Betasi were captured by The Italian Partisans, and after being captured, she still firmly defended Mussolini and proposed to hand mussolini over to the Allies, but of course the partisans refused.
Betasi
The following day, the partisans prepared to execute Mussolini and the others, but Betasi was excluded, and the partisans had no intention of embarrassing her.
Before the execution, Betasi offered to accompany Mussolini for a while, the guerrillas agreed, just as the guerrillas opened fire, Betasi did not hesitate to rush to Mussolini, took the initiative to block the bullets for him, and then the guerrillas continued to shoot, and in this way, she and Mussolini fell in a pool of blood.
Tragic ending
After Mussolini and the others were executed, the angry people hung the bodies of Mussolini and others on the Piazza di Milano, because Betasi was wearing a skirt that day, revealing the underwear inside after hanging, a soldier at the scene could not bear the humiliation of Betasi after his death, so he bravely stood up, pulled up Betasi's skirt, tied Betasi's skirt with his belt, and preserved the last dignity for her.
Unfortunate ending
Betasi ended her life like this, some people sighed, some people regretted, in fact, the original end of her will not be like this, just because of her vanity shamefully became the lover of her idol, her misfortune, can be said to be caused by her own hands.
