It's a sad day for Italian cinema: director Giuliano Montaldo passed away at the age of 93 at his home in Rome. It is impossible to forget Montaldo's trilogy "Gott mit uns" (1970), "Sacco e Vanzetti" (1971), and "Giordano Bruno" (1973), respectively on military, judicial, and religious power. "Sacco e Vanzetti" in particular tells the true story of two Italian anarchists who immigrated to the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. On August 23, 1927, after a trial marked by prejudice and questionable evidence - and after six years in prison - the two died in the electric chair in the United States, for a crime they did not commit, from which they will be completely exonerated only fifty years later. Montaldo has directed over 20 films in his career as a director, screenwriter, and actor. Many have left their imprint on Italian cinema history, including "Gli intoccabili" (1969), "L'Agnese va a morire" (1976), and "Gli occhiali d'oro" (1987). He was also heavily involved in the creation of great television works, such as the eight-part "Marco Polo" series.
