Elio Germano and Berlinguer, 40 years ago the farewell to the PCI leader
Many people were able to attend the filming of a movie ready to celebrate Enrico Berlinguer. In everyone's memory is still imprinted the memory of his death, 40 years ago, and of that funeral so heartfelt and attended.
Filming between Rome, Sofia and Sardinia
Segre's film was shot in Rome and Sofia, where Berlinguer found shelter to escape an attack by the Bulgarian secret services, but Sardinia also finds space. In fact, some scenes are set on the Piana island, near Asinara, for example. The film tells a biographical arc lasting five years, from 1973 to 1978. Among the key moments, the assassination of Aldo Moro, leader of the DC, could not be missed, along with the most beautiful and energetic aspects of Berlinguer, as a political leader, but also as a man. In a rich and vibrant political panorama.
