Rediscovery and Dalser's Life in Film
The story of Benito Mussolini's first marriage was suppressed during fascist rule, and remained generally unknown for years afterwards. It was uncovered in 2005 by Italian journalist Marco Zeni and made public through a TV documentary on state television as well as two books (L'ultimo filò and La moglie di Mussolini).
Vincere, a biopic on Dalser's life, under the direction of Marco Bellocchio, was screened at the 2009 American Film Institute Festival and in competition at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
