When Benito Mussolini’s great-grandson scored his first professional goal, Italian football fans gave the fascist salute in celebration to spark controversy. In a 1-0 victory over Cesena, Romano Floriani Mussolini, who is now on loan from Lazio to Serie B team Juve Stabia, scored the game’s lone goal.

Mussolini put his finger to his lips after scoring, but supporters reacted by reciting his name and giving him the Roman salute. Fascist in nature, Benito Mussolini often used the gesture, which entails extending the right arm straight with the palm pointing down. From 1922 until 1943, Benito Mussolini, the founder and leader of the National Fascist Party, served as Italy’s prime minister.
