Niccolò Giani is an Italian philosopher, journalist and politician who is the founder and director of the School of Fascist Mysticism.
Involvement
If Duce Galeazzo Ciano is unable to outmaneuver his opponents (which would result in him being couped by Umberto II, who restores parliamentary democracy) and the Verona Congress does not collapse due to infighting (which would result in Communism rising in Italy), the Quadrumvirate (Italo Balbo, Ettore Muti, Alessandro Pavolini and Niccolò Giani) will oust Ciano, then start fighting until one of them eliminates the other three. Giani's regime will have him attempt to convert all of Italy to Fascism, as he believes it is not just a means to an end, but rather, a way of life that one should aspire towards.
According to the developers, Italy under Giani is the worst possible outcome of Italy staying Fascist - they state that the other 3 duces may take certain things away (your freedom, your traditions, and your life, respectively), implying that if played in certain ways, they won't take them, but Giani will take away your soul.
