Roberto Gualtieri, born 1966 is the socialist mayor of Roma, with a PHD in history. But is too contemporary for this question.

Doubtless many members of the notorious Gambino crime family were imprisoned, however they were not known for their insights into the inherent contradictions of a capitalist mode of production.

Giving his name to galvinism, the 18th century physicist Luigi Galvani was long dead by the rise of European fascism.

Guccio Giovanbattista Giacinto Dario Maria Gucci, founder of the Gucci fashion house, and descendent of Italian nobility, would make for an unlikely revolutionary.

Given there was more than one Mussolini family member who had a notable political career, further clarification of a given name is warranted.

What was Mussolini’s profession before he went into Politics?

There were two main ones (as well as many other things to earn a Lire or two) - either will suffice to answer this question.
