Ci sarà un giorno (Il giovane Pertini)
A rigorous reconstruction of Sandro Pertini's (1896-1990) tough and difficult anti-fascist activities, often carried out in secret or in prison. In the role of the future President of the Republic, and in his first film role, is actor Maurizio Crozza, alongside Carla Signoris, Ivano Marescotti, and Augusto Zucchi. Broadcast only once on Rai 3 in 2003, it is effectively a "first viewing," having been harshly criticized in its early stages, for private reasons, by Pertini's widow.
