Rome, June 5.
The family of Clara Petacci, Mussolini's mistress, today won a three-year battle for the return of love letters confiscated in 1950 as material of historical interest.

Clara hid them in the grounds of a north Italian villa along with private diary of the
her last days of the Fascist regime before Mussolini and she made their vain bid for refuge across the Swiss border.
