Abstract

Vincere is an oblique look at fascist Italy, a film made from the figure of Ida Dalser, lover of Benito Mussolini and mother of his firstborn Benito Albino, born in 1915. Both Ida and her son are not usually found in books that recreate the events that make historical fascism.

Bellocchio visibilises them by showing their tragic lives, locked up until their death in psychiatric hospitals to avoid the knowledge of an extramarital relationship that would limit the Duce in his race towards the power. The film is a biographical parable through which the marks and traces that link Dalser’s individual trajectory with the origins, consolidation and fall of fascism are explored. And like all historical cinema, it reconstructs facts from the past to address the resignified Italy´s present.
