Prior to this, I was teaching at the Benito Croce 48 00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:41,420 College in Milan. Believe me, I can tell you it was a shock for me, and it was 49 00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:42,460 totally a different world. 50 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,040 It was hard for me to grasp the reality of my students' surroundings. 51 00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:48,920 Their background was different from mine. 52 00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:53,780 Having worked in a privileged environment in Milan, I wasn't ready for 53 00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:54,780 in store for me. 54 00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:56,600 Not allowed to smoke in class. 55 00:03:58,300 --> 00:03:59,440 Did you hear what I said? 56 00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,040 Are you deaf or something? 57 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,020 Come to the blackboard. 58 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,540 Hey, that new teacher's going to have a few surprises with Nicola. 59 00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:19,209 I want you to draw a thorax with all the bone structure and organs. 60 00:04:19,470 --> 00:04:21,350 Go ahead.

That's why they spend their time messing with the teachers. 67 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:58,490 The girls are a little bit different. They want to get out of the ghetto. 68 00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:02,690 I remember one day two girls came to me and told me about the art history 69 00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:07,590 teacher and his blackmail. I couldn't believe my ears. My job is like a moral 70 00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:08,590 mission for me. 71 00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:11,600 And I couldn't stand what I was hearing, you know? 72 00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:16,160 What those girls were telling me was an offense to every teacher in the country. 73 00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:18,500 I mean, for me, this guy was a monster. 74 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,800 Then what did you do? 75 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,820 Well, I didn't hesitate for one second and went straight to the police to 76 00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:24,820 the whole thing. 77 00:05:24,980 --> 00:05:25,899 All right. 78 00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:27,220 Thank you very much, Mr. 79 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,860 Bontempi.

I've been in this college for many years now. 97 00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:35,510 Do you know Mr. 98 00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:39,280 Salemi? Yes, Mr. Salemi was our art history teacher. 99 00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:45,160 Can you repeat in front of the court the exact words of Mr. Salemi? 100 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,500 Yes, but first, if you will, I would like to tell you a little bit about my 101 00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:53,700 background. You see, you have to understand that where I come from, it's 102 00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:58,200 easy to study, so it was really hard for me. But I wanted to pass my exam so 103 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,040 bad, I was ready to do anything, come hell or high water. 104 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,220 Mr. Salemi knew it too well, and he took advantage of it. 105 00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:07,460 And what do we have here? 106 00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:12,680 Oh, interesting. 107 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,500 Very interesting. 108 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,480 All this is nothing but nonsense, and it will get you nowhere. 109 00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:20,240 I wonder why you bothered to come to class. 110 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,920 I tried to do... Don't you dare answer me. When you attend class, you're 111 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,060 supposed to study. Do I make myself clear? 112 00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:30,880 I grew up in a family where studying was very important. It was considered the 113 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,960 only way out of misery. 114 00:07:32,670 --> 00:07:36,410 Studies could get you a nice job, for example. You could become a journalist 115 00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:37,410 even a diplomat. 116 00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:41,390 Not only was it a way to succeed professionally, but it was also a way to 117 00:07:41,390 --> 00:07:43,930 some money in for the family, which we all needed. 118 00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:49,570 My elder sister, who was an accountant in a fashion boutique downtown, had 119 00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:51,610 always more or less been in charge of the house. 120 00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:55,110 My grandmother, Mama Lucia, was sick. 121 00:07:55,550 --> 00:07:58,510 She had to go on a drastic diet, but she didn't give a damn. 122 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,780 She said she was born an Italian and she would eat pasta until the very end. 123 00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:07,560 Everybody was worried about it and there was no use trying to convince her. My 124 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,700 mother went nuts about it, but it was hopeless. 125 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:11,180 Pasta rules. 126 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,820 She couldn't do anything about it, nor could I. 127 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Nor could my father. 128 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:20,240 The poor man was an electrician and he could say he had blown his fuse. 129 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,900 He was in his own world, and who knows, maybe it was better this way because all 130 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,080 my mother and my sister could talk about all day long was the fashion boutique. 131 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,960 We could never talk about something else as if it was the most important thing 132 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,960 in the world. 133 00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:37,860 Each time I tried to talk about my problem in school, nobody was listening. 134 00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:42,240 The only thing they kept on telling me was, study, study, you'll see that one 135 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,240 day it will pay. 136 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960 But in the meantime, I was left alone with my problems. 137 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,140 That was the way it was in the family. 138 00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:53,330 Until this day, when Mr. Salemi came to see me after class, he was unusually 139 00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:56,970 nice to me, and he made me understand that he could help me overcome my 140 00:08:56,970 --> 00:09:01,170 shortcomings. That's when he volunteered to give me private lessons at home. 141 00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:04,070 Free, on top of that. I couldn't believe it. 142 00:09:04,450 --> 00:09:08,250 Born in 1832 in Florence, he was a student of Mr. 143 00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:12,050 George Satriani. I want you to know that we are grateful for what you're doing. 144 00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:16,410 Don't even mention it. It's nothing unusual for a teacher to help a student. 145 00:09:16,530 --> 00:09:18,850 It's part of my job as a teacher. Very kind. 146 00:09:19,310 --> 00:09:22,430 Listen to me, sweetheart. I'm going to meet your sister at the boutique. She 147 00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:23,550 needs help, you know. 148 00:09:23,970 --> 00:09:28,290 Please make sure Grandma doesn't eat too much pasta. It's bad for her. Is it 149 00:09:28,290 --> 00:09:30,030 understood? Don't worry. I'll take care of her. 150 00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:32,750 Thank you again, Professor. Thank you for the coffee. 151 00:09:33,330 --> 00:09:35,550 So, where were we at? Ah, right here. 152 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:37,870 That's how it all started. 153 00:09:38,190 --> 00:09:41,510 It was a dream come true to have my personal professor at home. 154 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,000 But very soon, and without noticing anything, I was to experience one of the 155 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,120 most traumatizing events of my young life. 156 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,160 How's your grandmother? 157 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,600 She's feverish. I gave her a few tablets. 158 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,320 Come on. 159 00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:10,700 I know that my sister was watching my private lessons. 160 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,180 I felt ashamed because he had forced me into looking at a photograph of my 161 00:13:46,180 --> 00:13:47,560 grandmother when she was young. 162 00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:51,220 I don't know why, but I went on with the program. 163 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,340 Maybe because although I didn't want to admit it, I was attracted to him. I was 164 00:13:56,340 --> 00:14:00,060 like hypnotized by this man. I felt like he could bring me something special. 165 00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:02,940 I mean something other than sexual satisfaction. 166 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,880 One evening, for example, I remember I was invited to a party with my sister 167 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120 two friends. The professor was trying to stay as late as possible. 168 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,120 and he was truly hurt when the boys asked him to leave. 169 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,320 I was hurt as well, and I felt disappointed when he left me. 170 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,800 That's why I got mad at my sister. 171 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,200 I told her all of this was so childish that I needed those lessons to keep up 172 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,019 with school. 173 00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:31,420 I went on and on telling her she was selfish and that as my elder sister she 174 00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:32,800 should be an example for me. 175 00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,900 I often argue with my sister and her friends, and that night I decided not to 176 00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:37,900 out with them. 177 00:14:38,250 --> 00:14:42,870 I had only one thing on my mind, and that was to apologize to Mr. Salemi. I 178 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:44,050 really felt bad for him. 179 00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,230 I'm sorry. 180 00:14:58,290 --> 00:14:59,290 No, it's all right. 181 00:14:59,970 --> 00:15:01,330 I mean it.

What was to follow proved that I had all the 196 00:19:14,730 --> 00:19:16,610 reasons in the world to be afraid of that. 197 00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:21,350 One evening, we were studying in the kitchen while Gina, the maid, was doing 198 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:22,349 washing up. 199 00:19:22,350 --> 00:19:26,010 I asked for a break in the luncheon to go upstairs and check if my grandma was 200 00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:26,609 all right. 201 00:19:26,610 --> 00:19:30,790 She had eaten too much tagliatelle alla carbonara, and I was kind of worried. 202 00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:34,210 The professor didn't seem to mind, so I left him alone with Gina. 203 00:19:34,570 --> 00:19:36,510 That's when I understood his true nature. 204 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,020 What if she comes back and catches us in the act?

That's why I wanted an education so bad. I felt like I deserved 225 00:24:40,910 --> 00:24:42,310 something better for my future. 226 00:24:42,850 --> 00:24:46,950 Mr. Salemi was aware of that, and he knows as well that my parents had both 227 00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:48,430 killed in a car accident that year. 228 00:24:48,750 --> 00:24:52,970 All of a sudden, I found myself in charge of the family as my elder brother 229 00:24:52,970 --> 00:24:53,689 in shock. 230 00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:57,690 He had gone through a nervous breakdown after the death of my parents and had 231 00:24:57,690 --> 00:24:58,890 found shelter in drug abuse. 232 00:24:59,630 --> 00:25:03,910 Of course, we were too poor to afford to send him to the Betty Ford Center, so 233 00:25:03,910 --> 00:25:05,230 we had to cure him the old way. 234 00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:10,510 Cold turkey, like Gene Hackman in The French Connection 2, which was not bad 235 00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:11,510 a sequel. 236 00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:14,950 Those were hard times, and the only thing that kept me going was my 237 00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:17,190 with Francesco, a student from my class. 238 00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:19,890 Francesco was a very nice and gentle boy. 239 00:25:20,650 --> 00:25:23,370 I'm sure your brother is going to be all right. Yeah, you think so? And he's 240 00:25:23,370 --> 00:25:24,810 lucky to have a sister like you. 241 00:25:25,310 --> 00:25:26,710 Sometimes life isn't fair. 242 00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:31,910 Some people are pure evil, and they get away with it, while others are genuinely 243 00:25:31,910 --> 00:25:33,550 good at heart, and they die young. 244 00:25:34,790 --> 00:25:38,910 Then Professor Salemi walked into my life. He offered to give me free private 245 00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:43,630 lessons. His offer was a gift to me because it came just in time when I 246 00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:45,090 tutoring to keep up with the level. 247 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:49,670 But soon, Mr. Salemi shifted topics. He started to talk about philosophical 248 00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:53,750 issues, about men and women relationships, about sexual and 249 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:57,450 fulfillment. Of course, I was too young and innocent to see where all this 250 00:25:57,450 --> 00:25:58,670 double talk would lead us. 251 00:28:25,290 --> 00:28:29,450 Mr. Salemi opened new perspectives in my life, and I started to talk Francesco 252 00:28:29,450 --> 00:28:33,590 into a higher level of comradeship. He first hesitated, thinking it would harm 253 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:36,270 our beautiful relationship, but eventually he gave up. 254 00:29:20,140 --> 00:29:23,800 me to tell him about what we were doing and when he learned I had a sister we 255 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,800 had a threesome. 256 00:29:24,980 --> 00:29:26,820 He threatened to go and tell the superintendent. 257 00:29:27,460 --> 00:29:28,460 I had no choice. 258 00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:56,340 I have to say, unfortunately. 259 00:29:57,260 --> 00:29:59,520 Thank you very much, miss. You may go now. 260 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,500 Professor Ricardo Salemi's testimony. 261 00:30:04,340 --> 00:30:07,040 Miss Salemi, do you know why you are here today? 262 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,379 Yes, I do. 263 00:30:08,380 --> 00:30:11,580 Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the naked truth? 264 00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:16,840 Hey, judge, that's what I'm here for. I've got nothing to hide. 265 00:30:17,060 --> 00:30:20,280 All right, then let's hear what the district attorney has to say. 266 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,640 Thank you, your honor. 267 00:30:22,110 --> 00:30:26,410 Professor Salemi, what have you got to say in response to what we've just 268 00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:28,470 Does it come as a surprise for you? 269 00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:32,250 Well, now, what do you expect me to say? These are shameful lies. I mean, all 270 00:30:32,250 --> 00:30:34,310 the accusations come from the same class. 271 00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:38,510 And it's no wonder, because this class is really specially sick. I mean, this 272 00:30:38,510 --> 00:30:41,650 class is nothing but a bunch of fratskits and anarchists. 273 00:30:42,330 --> 00:30:46,290 I mean, you must know that I have no respect for hooligans and the likes of 274 00:30:46,290 --> 00:30:47,790 them.
