Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of Italy's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, has won the 2026 series of Grande Fratello VIP, Italy's Celebrity Big Brother. The 63-year-old television personality and former politician triumphed over 15 other contestants in the popular reality show, securing approximately 56 per cent of the public vote in the finale broadcast on Tuesday night.
Her victory comes with a prize of £86,000 ($116,000), half of which she is reported to be donating to charity. The result provides fresh insight into the enduring public fascination with the Mussolini name in contemporary Italian culture and entertainment.
