# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Galeazzo Ciano was the son of Admiral Costanzo Ciano, a founding Fascist who marched on Rome in 1922 with his boy in tow. He saw combat in Ethiopia in 1935, returned to become Foreign Minister at thirty-three, and married into the regime — his father-in-law was Benito Mussolini. For seven years he ran Italian diplomacy and was widely assumed to be next in line. As the war turned, Ciano pushed for an exit; Mussolini dismissed him and sent him to the Vatican as ambassador. In July 1943 he joined the Grand Council vote that toppled Mussolini, then fled to Germany — where he was arrested and delivered to the rump regime at Salò. Mussolini ordered the execution, and on 11 January 1944 Ciano faced the firing squad. The diary he kept has been mined by historians ever since.
