Clara Franceschini (1900 -), was an Italian politician of the National Fascist Party (PNF).
She became a member of the Fascist Party in 1921, was a co-founder of the Pavia Branch of the Fasci Femminili (FF Provincial Fiduciary) and served as its President in 1925-1937.
The national leadership of the Fascist women's organization, the Fasci Femminili, was left vacant after Angiola Moretti in 1930.
There were only leaders of the local branches until the national oversight committee was established in 1937, in which Clara Franceschini and Giuditta Stelluti Scala Frascara were appointed as inspectors by Achille Starace in a shared leadership position, followed in 1938 by an additional four: Wanda Bruschi Gorjux, Laura Marani Argnani, Teresita Menzinger Ruata and Olga Medici del Vascello.
In 1938 Mussolini contemplated to have women represented higher in the party hierarchy, and suggested to appoint Clara Franceschini the first woman to serve in the Chamber of Fasces and Corporations,[4] but he withdrew the nomination due to opposition from the traditional minded members of the Fascist Grand Council.
