French and British newspapers linked the name of Premier Benito Mussolini-to the triangle. Mme. Fontange reportedly had many pictures of the Italian dictator in her studio. She twice interviewed II Duce in 1936, Rome denied that Mussolini was involved. In Court proceedings Madame Fontange’s sanity is now questioned.
