From Garibaldi to Berlusconi, 150 years of Italian history

Sylvie Brenet, executive producer at Les Films d’Ici

Make the Italians or make Italy? We’ve never been able to overcome this dilemma. Today, as we celebrate 150 years of Italian unification, we’re still asking ourselves who we are and why we should stay together. For us, saying “we” has always been the most difficult thing, but what has always united us is culture. “Alas, serve Italy, sojourn of sorrow, pilotless nave in dark tempest…” La complainte de Dante est ancienne, mais elle reste d’actualité. De Garibaldi à Berlusconi, le film nous propose un voyage de deux heures à la découverte de ce qui nous a unis et de ce qui nous a séparés, hier et aujourd’hui.
