Miss Italy ridiculed after telling beauty contest judges she wants to experience World War Two

A Miss Italy contestant has faced ridicule after telling judges she would like to experience World War Two. When asked which historical period she would most like to live in, 18-year-old Alice Sabatini paused for a moment before replying "1942" - one of the darkest years in Italian history under the Mussolini dictatorship.
Likely a little baffled, a woman on the beauty contest judging panel asked: 

"1942? During World War Two?"

Sabatini confirmed her choice and said she had read a lot about the period.

"Well... to see really what the Second World War was like, since the books talk about it for page after page. I want to live it.
