She is the daughter of Anna Maria Scicolone and Romano Mussolini, the third son of "Il Duce", fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Her aunt is the actress Sophia Loren. She pursued an early career as a model, before graduating from university with a degree in Medicine and Surgery.

Political Career
In 1992, she was elected to parliament in a Naples constituency as a member of the neofascist Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI). She was favourable to the idea of an alliance between MSI and Forza Italia with a view to the elections of 1994 but she opposed the liquidation of the MSI and the creation of the new party Alleanza Nazionale.

She was later a candidate for the post of mayor of Napoli, but was defeated by Antonio Bassolino. Her relations with Gianfranco Fini, leader of the National Alliance, were never very good. This antagonism was exacerbated when the politician from Bologna criticized some aspects of fascism, such as its anti-semitism.

In November of 2003, Fini paid a visit to Israel. There, he declared that fascism had been " the absolute evil", apologizing to the government of Israel for the racial laws that Benito Mussolini had approved in 1938. Shortly after these declarations, Alessandra Mussolini abandoned Alleanza Nazionale.

She then founded a new party of the extreme right, Freedom of Action (now called Social Action), which united with other neofascist movements and gave rise to the electoral cartel Alternativa Sociale (Social Alternative). At the European elections of 2004, this coalition obtained 1.2% of the vote, permitting Alessandra to be elected to the European parliament.

In March 2005, Mussolini was banned by a local court from regional elections held the following month for allegedly presenting fraudulent signatures (Reuters, BBC). "This is an affront to democracy, if they're going to exclude the Social Alternative they will have to exclude all the parties, because all the signature lists are false," Mussolini told Reuters. However, at the end of the month the Italian government annulled the court's decision, and she stood for election.

Mussolini used her parliamentary reimbursement for campaigning to set up a fund whereby needy Italian families were given 250 Euros.
