Benito: The Rise and Fall of Mussolini (A Man Named Benito) (TV Miniseries) (1993) begins its narrative when Benito Mussolini, at 19, abandons his teaching career and departs from his hometown of Forli. He travels to Lausanne, Switzerland, where he works as a laborer on a construction site, experiencing firsthand the harsh realities of the capitalist system. Mussolini's charismatic oratory skills quickly draw a devoted following, including the mysterious Russian woman Angelika, who becomes his patron. This rapid rise in influence also attracts opposition from both religious and political authorities. His romantic involvement with Eleonora, a medical student from a middle-class family in Geneva, inspires him to pursue his own education. However, a tragic accident at the construction site sets the stage for the dramatic events that follow.
