Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was born July 29, 1883 and died April 28, 1945. Mussolini was born in the north Italian town of Pergine Valsugana in the northern Italian province of Trento. His father was a cobbler and his mother a washerwoman. The Mussolinis were a relatively poor family in comparison with the majority of their neighbors and it is believed that Mussolini was ridiculed by his peers at Valsugana Elementary School due to his shabby clothes and dirty appearance. Many historians attribute Mussolini's aggressive nature to this mistreatment. His father was a [[socialist]] and raised Mussolini as a socialist. He was named after Mexican president [[Benito Juarez]].

At the age of 12 Benito was sent to an Italian [[military academy]] in [[Turin]] where he completed his secondary education. Mussolini graduated from school in 1901 and then went on to study at the [[University of Rome]] where he completed a degree in Social Sciences. It was during his university days that Mussolini first became exposed to politics. It is reported that Mussolini would spend long afternoons in the university library reading the memoirs of various European kings and other books about political ideologies.  At one time he was the editor of "Avanti" (a self declared socialist paper).
