Early life
editBorn On April 5, 1917 Salerno, Italy, In a Tenement Francini was Raised by his father Italian Socialist and later Fascist,Francini Carmelo Francini Jr, and his Mother, Isabella Borgetti,a devout Catholic school teacher. Given his father's political leanings, Francini was named Antonio after Italian Marxist Philosopher Antonio Francesco Gramsci, while his middle names, Immanuel, was from German Philosopher during the Enlightenment Period Immanuel Kant. In return the mother obtained that he be baptized at birth. As a young boy, Antonio would spend some time helping his father in his office. Antonio’s early political views were strongly influenced by his father, who idolized 19th-century Italian nationalist figures with humanist tendencies such as Carlo Pisacane, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
His father's political outlook combined views of Social Democratic figures such as Filippo Turati and Marxist Figures such as Nikolai Bukharin,who advocated to protect and help the peasantry rather than destroying the peasantry the military authoritarianism of Garibaldi, and the nationalism of Mazzini. In 1949, at the anniversary of Garibaldi's death, Francini made a public speech in praise of the republican nationalist. Francini Had a normal school life but was very outspoken as a kid, he often clashed with teachers but was popular among his peers.due to his Confident,Intelligent, and Charismatic behavior. Francini regularly achieved good grades, was appreciated by his teachers despite his attitude towards them.
Francini was even offered to go to The University of Princeton In The United States after receiving a scholarship.He rejected and instead joined The Blackshirts and the National Fascist Party in 1935 where he would become commander and later general and would command his newly created Blackshirt division called “1st CC.NN. Division "Zama" in 1941 as he planned to dominate the North African Campaign for Italy and would.

Rise to Power
editWhen he returned from service commanding Blackshirt Divisions of World War II, very little remained of Francini's Hardline Fascist stance. Indeed, he was now convinced that Fascism as a doctrine had largely been Flawed by its Totalitarianism instead, wanting more of a Inner Party Democracy Leaning more into the Syndicalist nature of 1925 Fascism. In 1949, Francini became more politically active with his position making friends with Carlo Scorza ,former Party Secretary,and Holding great influence in Mussolini's Regime and helped Mussolini after the 1950 Invasion of Mozambique by the Nazi's to centralize the support of the party and helped lay the ground work for helping Jews fleeing German Oppression.In 1952, Francini was announced Mussolini's Successor and the decision was respected by most and in 1953 Became Il Duce.
Once he got into office he started to spread his new conception of Fascism within the party without actually implementing his own ideas until 1963
