you voted against il duce grande what

yes what will happen dear

de bono it's very simple some

outdated and departed the king of the army

his generals you should be happy

no no no wait young man you will

regret what you did then

in I hate the German comrades you

voted against fascism and against the

duce you who got everything from him

all dear cyan history will

never forgive you and neither do we seem to

forget that the enemy is already in

Sicily you have forgotten this

vote no you won't even need it with the

British it is necessary to stop the coup

d'état they make yourself

we stay here with him it's too late

farinacci there is nothing from it's not too

late let's sing

yes great we need to talk to the duce

tonight he could make us all stay

why in such a hurry the rest was already

aware of everything I don't understand you but what's

going on are you

scared by chance or have you already

felt nothing

precisely because by now we need to get to the

end that I said to

abstain to be adopted

precisely because Mussolini and his father-in-law

never listened to

me I didn't want my responsibilities in the army

but now it's necessary to

talk to it's essential if we want to

save Italy we can't leave

the country in the hands of the generals

oh well then whoever is in the WEEE hearing

immediately exposes your point of view and

why don't we go there together her

teacher together is not political it is not the

case i understand now that the coup d'état

could succeed i am no longer

needed verona around to

simply be mussolini's son-in-law her

husband direct but if that's what you think of

me you're wrong why not will you be able to

put paul the young ones then if you want to

know the king didn't want your vote for

too many years you were

mussolini's foreign minister and vittorio emanuele

was even his king let's go

like you were his ambassador

and here

captain yesterday it was decided to

entrust you with a very delicate task in the

name of his majesty the king I order you to

arrest the head of government the

knight benito mussolini sirsi his

majesty the king has taken the decision to

replace mussolini with general

badoglio

the moment it's serious come and see

how he is he will soon receive

Mussolini here at Villa Savoia you will

be waiting for him there on the stairs when he

arrives you will greet him you will order his

driver to move to the square

further on behind the building

come with me in your place you will make

a I nod to the military ambulance which is

already ready below as you can see the

car will stop alongside the

building and will remain with the engine running

when Mussolini comes out the

network order to follow you you will get him

into the ambulance everything is clear

captain you will have six at your disposal

men and subsequently you will receive

the precise itinerary that you will have to

follow and if he refuses to follow me

this mission must be

completed at any cost

sir general his

majesty has been receiving Mussolini for twenty years and there has never

been an ambulance outside the door

and a carabiniere with the order to

arrest him

sir general I ask you for a

written order signed by you and that's fine and I

will prepare it captain venieri remember from

now on the fascist salute and

abolished indeed forbidden fascism has already

happened go ahead captain

you had to excuse me at my house i'm the

dispute ciano

ugly

ready

is the headquarters i want to talk

to marshal ahead i

want to talk to marshal

badoglio here is count galeazzo

ciano speaking yes how i left the children

with your mother in livorno i

really hoped to go back to rome

with you at the moment I think it is

better to keep them away from this hell

and they are fine what marshal there is no

thanks when we know something about the

new government

this same evening the name of

badoglio is mentioned an enemy of mine and your father there

will be a press release to the radio

now it's only a matter of a few minutes

this at least when sitting down I

realized we'll be there soon we will

really know what fascism is for

the Italian but I have no illusions

a people tired of everything have been

deceived

remember that they made them believe in

an easy quick victory without

bloodshed that instead now

the enemy has already arrived at the gates of

palermo

and the soldiers are marching barefoot you

realize it goes on because he doesn't say we

made him believe everyone including

badoglio and you are the one i said

greece would have collapsed in 10

days what did his former enemy want

badoglio will be the new head of government

i wish to place myself at his disposal

here in my diaries the new government

will be able to find evidence of

german betrayal and the abuses we have had to

endure all these years of

so-called alliance anyone who wants to

unhook Italy from Germany will have to

tell the people the truth what is

written here in short who did it I

don't understand you what do you mean who

promoted the conspiracy I'm not from the opera

or from the special court you want to tell me the

truth without risking nothing is appropriate and it's

better that it was us rather than

the people the army trust and

affection towards your father are out of

the question I understand that's enough for the

first time I regret being left

out of everything that do and

stop it will take some coherence no

now that you voted against my father who

vented your hatred towards the Germans too many we

have at least got him out of the

way countries documents and listen I was hoping

that in these circumstances what more do you want

in a few minute if you don't see

start tidying up the house

waiting for your new friends

you're peter wait ready it's me yes yes

you're dark yes yes

thanks thanks to the formations of

any development

big must have changed his plans

apparently disappeared don't know

something must have happened

and you who intend to follow his

example ready yes yes yes ma'am just

arrived nor your mother yes [

Music] they

arrested my father but as

arrested

anita anita prepare chile various se with

some stuff soon where do you want to

leave this house to begin with

that's for sure

and perhaps it will be even better to leave rome

and wait in safety for the situation

to clear up in other words you want

to flee flee is not the right word

I didn't call you back here to be

insulted but not there is another word because

for every action there is only one

suitable word an escape is always an escape and

responsibilities are always

responsibilities i am not a soldier and i

have to defend my politics in the country

and my position you did not expect me to would have him

arrested true no

politics can be defended by

running away maybe help but don't run away like

a thief and if the Germans should

win

it's always me the duce's daughter to

cover your back you've always

complained that your hands are tied

now you're free no but the the truth is

this you haven't had the strength to

do your own thing and you and your friends have never been groping in the

dark without my father's help it's like i

can take the hate but not the

contempt it's over over for always go away

leave me to my destiny of ciano

on one side and mussolini on the other no i'm

not moving from here

my father can be thrown away like a

used rag but not me if until yesterday

you needed my name

tomorrow i'll have it your vote against my father may be useful

even though

an anti-fascist and fabio viale radio steals

his majesty the king emperor has accepted

the resignation from the post of head of

government prime minister secretary of

state his excellence the knight

benito mussolini and has nominated head of

government prime minister secretary of

state

his excellency the knight marshal

of italy pietro badoglio

the crowd against me if I've already seen them we

shouldn't have stayed in rome waiting for

get organized in

combat formation and it's up to us to prevent it he

will replace all the unit commanders

that within a month they will not have cleaned up

the area entrusted to them of every repeat

comrades Your Excellency you know that

young people no longer respond to our

appeals and the few volunteers who

follow us before fighting want an

example the immediate punishment of ciano

the trial must be done by us it does not

give Christ would be a humiliation if it

were their turn to kill those

traitors and then we are sure that the

Germans will not allow themselves to be convinced

by the Duce

we must close the issue Cyan

before it becomes a cause of

conflict with the Germans as happened

yesterday

I will see the Duce later I guarantee

that within 48 hours the fight against the

partisans will resume very violently the

spirit of vengeance that animates your

units will not be discouraged by the Duce

unleashes certain comrades hopes

grow only with violence

please go on with the shirt down with the

extraordinary special court who

will have to judge me I am here to

question me count sit down he is a deputy

according to the indictment of the rights of

treason of aid to the enemy to follow up

more meetings and in particular

on the occasion of the vote issued by the Grand

Council of Fascism on 25 July

1940 in Rome in competition among you by

betraying the idea he attempted to dependence

on the state and for having harmed through

the most appropriate action the way the

illusions of a source of peace whatever

both the country's resistance and

the operations of its armed forces

thus bringing help to your friend you can

say whatever you believe your

defense I was the only one who supported the gracious

council the need to

continue the war sees only

Mussolini to ask for more

German aid and now I am being accused of

treason and treated as

worse than an assist or even

as a subversive count.

may your defense

be effective, please

sit down

how could I wish for the fall of

fascism and Mussolini what could I

hope from such an upheaval I who

enjoyed and still enjoys the cordial antipathy

of millions of Italians who see my

brilliant career exclusively as a

function of my kinship with duce it

appears from the documents that you were

aware that the king and the general staff

were negotiating with the enemy

wanting to save your position

you did not hesitate to take sides against the

duce our father-in-law I

absolutely reject this

defamatory accusation be very clear that I have

no fear of be sentenced to

death

too many times I risked my life as a

pilot so that this threat could

scare me and I am not defending my

life here but my honor and the name of my

father who has honored Italy so much and in the

name of my children who they can and

must not be accused tomorrow as

children of a traitor to their homeland

cook me immediately if you want even without

putting me on trial but I don't tolerate being

called a traitor it's an insult I don't

deserve the clues but I'm against

you

in fact on July 23rd at 5pm you

went to the house of the coopers and

met them grandi with whom you

perfected the conspiracy you must

admit it is proven that grandi was in

contact with the house of savoy

yes it is true that i met grande

coopers write clerk read me

on the agenda he said he had

spoken to the king with the minister of the

royal house acquarone he limited himself to

illustrating the agenda to me but

why not have these mussolini have you that

evening yes on the evening of the 23rd did not speak to

him why why why there was

nothing

mysterious about those against the

party secretary was also aware of it

you could not talk about it with your

wife for me to agree with her on what to do

at that moment she was not in rome she

was in livorno how could i how

are we already finished if at least for now but

i have so many things to do say many things to

explain and I have the right to be

heard you cannot liquidate me so you

must hear my reasons

all my witnesses clerk

have them sign the report interrogated and

my wife at least she can explain

leave the women alone your wife

was not present at the session of the great

council and he certainly cannot have

invited you to vote against his father

rather read the minutes signed low

you will certainly return if

necessary

no wait he

allowed me at least to prepare a

memorandum for my defense if I authorize you and

then I know that you are happy to write with you

well

the investigating judge questioned

ciarlo you will see that they will go through two trials

one for him is one we

better like this no no autonomous home I

saw the rest we agree with a

single trial mussolini will be able to

save ciano and we must remain

tied to him and marylin who says

marinelli but the veins are deaf and we

would like to hear b from milo gigli it's

over let's go we

took then we'll go

how are you doing business hello galasso

who came mussolini his death I've

made a good career ciano from

foreign countries intern

a little coffee with you but because you're

always in my way

please get out this is a prison

and stay that way you use to go out

let me count tell you that

your line of defense is wrong

you should get advice from a good

lawyer you already have read the report

of the interrogation it is true that I was

all aware of my statements and you

despicable despicable do you want me to give you

some advice

even if you don't believe me I am a

friend and I respect you avoid telling the

instructors or during the trial

which minister of foreign affairs you were

against the Germans because they were not on the

terms the fascists will do the trial

but the Gestapo will impose the sentence

instead throw yourselves against the

fascist leaders instead side with the

Germans over a mussolini

farinacci pavolini and you will be safe from

my diaries say anything but

defend the diaries or your life

listen to each other hand over your friends

trust me you won't regret it and good

advice we bought your life

and we can always

sell it in exchange for your viari

free me eve leader or not the first they come

the diaries and then you you don't trust

me and I should trust the gestapo

there is only one possibility at the precise

moment and with you you will make them flee and they

will deliver the diaries to you

it's a good idea

good morning come

I succeeded to take away a letter from him

I

saw him myself yesterday he is well

I hope very much you recognize the handwriting

of your husband seal I recognize

for when the start of the trial has been set

I think for January 8th you

think a and you are sure I'm sure and

countess

okay I'll have the diaries for that day

but I'll give them to you only when

I know that my husband is safe and not

a convent in Italian territory

no the gestapo has broken down the doors of

too many convents because galeazzo ciano

can he feel safe he must

reach switzerland

i

thanks my father has already informed me directly

[

Music]

the name of the extraordinary special court I

order you to prevent

anyone from entering armed and to have

suspicious elements acquired

sir judge

in extraordinary special court

the president

sit down where the defendant de bono is

coming

take your seat and linen

you are accused of the crimes of treason

and aid to the enemy for following

several meetings and in particular

on the occasion of the vote he was placed before the great

council of fascism

on 25 July 1943 in rome in competition

between you with betrayal of the idea he

attempted to undermine the independence of the

state and for having harmed through

the most appropriate action to give rise to

illusions of a speedy peace of any kind

both to the resistance of the country and to

the operations of the armed forces

thus remaining aid to the enemy

I declare the hearing open

all right yes all right

let's get away

from you with you no I have them left in

storage at the station they follow us never

seen who will be

fascists or Germans fascists dominated they don't

even trust the gestapo

stuff from the Middle Ages

but what do they want

pavolini must have understood that there is

something going on it's impossible they

should have known from the Germans and will make a beautiful

never seen

no but he will show up soon

anyway the diaries had him photographed the

negatives left in the

jeweler's safe that you know damn

who they will certainly have spied on by now

they will already know everything but you didn't say

anything about you but he

won't have believed look they stopped

too but in rome no one

followed me I took all the precautions you

understand that tomorrow those diaries could

be your defense lawyers and then it's only

right that a copy remains for the

strange story you too think about history

mussolini wants to kill us they have for the

story chan and against mussolini for the

story but i don't care about

your story

if I live the duce and that's all

the great council because we didn't see

the duce

well I wasn't familiar with the great council it

was the first time I participated and I

considered that day one of the most

beautiful of my life

the most beautiful of your life because

it destroyed the fascist regime but I

believed him that he was in the know in

the past he wanted gross of the day greats

that arch straight now he wrote

silence I thought the king the duce was

la ricci that they had agreed let's

go bottaro now you want us to

believe that you didn't know that among the

general staff the party but if

everyone knew

but I didn't listen to the gossip he

lost the truth in the newspapers I

only believed what I read in the press

mister gottardi you were in favor of

the fascist press law or not

in favor because I was and I'm a fascist

and so you can't defend them today

by arguing that the newspapers

should have published all the rumors the

gossip of the enemies of fascism

mister president even if they were

rumors not worthy of

publication a fascist pain they

couldn't believe it my client

ha voted for the agenda

because he believed that what he read in the

press was all true

and therefore for gottardi the duce had

nothing to fear from the king or from the

general staff lawyer do not anticipate

the discussion please Mr President

I have always looked at the duce as a god and

the leader told the meeting of the great

council that he was sure he could

count on the friendship and esteem of the

rest so I could not assume that the

king would have my god arrested

that night I did not speak he absolutely did not

intervene in the

discussion and I decided to vote as

voted only when I saw that the

Minister of Corporations Jarecki my

direct superior had voted for

the agenda Grandi

Mr. President one moment I

wrote a letter to the Duce immediately after

the meeting of the Grand Council to

apologize for my mistake later you could have

done the same

you too will write withdrawing your

vote I witnesses I

have witnesses of good faith please

come here now that's enough your witnesses

can't say anything because they weren't

present at the session of the grand council

what happened next is what you

had done before from the 23 years of

fascism does not interest this court

recommended it went

emilio must

confirm the minutes of the investigation

sir yes and more do you have to add

sir president

throughout my life I have always

been above all a soldier I never

participated in the daily politics and

I've only had contacts leads him only

then to judge me to say if I'm a

traitor

who in the days of the march on Rome

guaranteed the support of the army

I who since 1921 had chosen the Duce

and July 25 why did you choose the king

we had to resist the enemy continue

to fight for the honor of the country and to

do this we had to put an end to the

controversies I was the greater the

party but in any case leader it was out of

the question

when it comes to great defenses see

the agenda in which he asked for

the return of mussolini mister

president i oppose this question

the agenda dino grandi did not

ask for the dismissal of benito

mussolini lawyer leave it alone it

is not the case mister president

i repeat and confirm that i have always seen

grandi exclusively on the occasion of

fascist demonstrations and also his

agenda of July 24th I

only met at the grand council

I'm a soldier I've never

dealt with political issues I

believed in the 2nd and now they

want to put me against the wall as a

traitor as an anti-fascist but perhaps

in the logic of things fascism

devours its promoters and it is

also my fault that I helped create

the apparatus that is now trying to suffocate me I

should be tried for this but

certainly not by you gentlemen of the court the

painting a wine must one of the major

architects of the march on rome has the right

to be believed by this court when

he states that he was not involved in politics

that if ever he only discussed it with the duke

but if there are doubts that are

very legitimate the defense

believes that such doubts can be

denied or confirmed by a single

person

His Excellency Benito Mussolini

and correct procedural development that

Excellency Mussolini should therefore come to

testify on an element of capital

importance for the Marshal of Italy

Emilio De Bono and the young master Delbono

can request this testimony from him.

allows his past as a

fascist

gentlemen of the court even before

explaining the legal reasons that

require me to be against the

request of the defense

I wish to explain the moral and

political reasons since this is an

extraordinary court that defends fascism and

fights its enemies

today you are called to judge the

traitors of 25 July

tomorrow perhaps the anti-fascist rebels or

even oil and its king the

de bono defendant pursues

a disloyal and provocative manoeuvre,

i.e. an attempt is made to seat

the duce in the witness chair but with the price, however,

of transforming him in the eyes of the enemies

of the fatherland and of the regime,

the accused like cyan pawns bono

silence you will use to ally yourself with a

traitor in transforming the leader from an

accuser as he is into an accused

sold at the pace of Reggio Emilia

on board

let the defendants out

how are

you how are you I was allowed

to see you every day maybe

it's not prudent they may suspect something

tomorrow I hope to see the person

you know for the final agreements

what's wrong I no longer have any

intention of handing over my diaries to the

Germans but what happened to you and you

ask me do you move about the process he says about

your father's fascists more than all

my roads and with this he is a shame

that's what we are they all the defense the

accusations all a vile farce

and let's stop blaming favolini

because behind this there is only

mussolini fleeing with the help of the

germans would mean taking sides as

if they were with himmler and with signs of ari

ari behn tronto would mean

repudiating my politics

no enough with inconsistency to say say to

finish stipe scold me for

life

inconsistency the only coherent thing to

do save your skin and the future of

our children

I prefer to be sentenced to death

because if I save myself in any

way

I will end up saving the judges too and

Mussolino makes farinacci volini and I don't want to

because I hate them too much they have the

courage to kill me but if they

kill me they will sign their death sentence

and I want that they all want to

even if it costs to precede them by a few

months to the grave because I hate them like I've never

hated anyone

don't wait don't go we

still have a few minutes but you don't understand it's

for you for our children that I can't

accept because you have a real

reason not to be fascists anymore

I will do what we have decided and there is no

more 800 in favor more slowly I tried to

avoid this process because I didn't

want us to be wrong in the family

like animals

I repeated a long time I can't escape then

and then what I don't believe it here it's that

you have to trust me

mister count the conversation is over it's

the last time we'll see each other

in here

but you'll come out I promise

and I don't want to die I don't want to die

yes to the count it's forbidden

Your

Excellency Roberto Farinacci I am

aware of the responsibility you

assume before God and men.

You swear to tell the truth and nothing but

the truth. I swear please Your Excellency

we would like you to tell us as orderly as

possible what

happened in that notorious evening in the

meeting of 24 July that opened the session

the party secretary carlo scorza

read an absolutely insignificant badoglio letter to the duce

and immediately the

duce took the floor to illustrate the

military situation he spoke for an hour and 40

minutes when for the purpose of speaking he wearily

leans back in the chair and

nodded that the discussion was open and

immediately after de bono took the floor

who said that the situation was

tragic and that some decisions had to be taken

first of all stop attacking the

general staff without allowing them

to explain his reasons

Mr. President allow me to

clarify I posed the dilemma capitulate

or resist to then add that

the means to resist had to be found

afterwards I must take the floor and the mere

fact that I am here as a

witness for the prosecution says enough what

my attitude was prosecution and the

general staff to betray fascism and

mussolini and to be responsible for

our very serious military situation,

however, in part adhered to what delbono had said

and at the end of my

speech

I asked to postpone the session to the

following day to have time to summon

the head of state Major General

Ambrosio to confirm in the

Duce's presence what he had

told me personally, i.e. that the

war would end with our

defeat

within 15 days. Mussolini agreed to my

request.

the army left, the whole regime

resolutely opposed my proposal, of course

Mr. President and he understood well

that in the night

I would ask the Duce to have him

arrested

and he was waiting for an answer, a decision

for that evening, his cronies

supported him in my proposal it was

rejected then grandi read his agenda

in which, as is well known, he asked

to return to the king the old

prerogatives and the command of

operations for the sole purpose of overthrowing the

fascist regime

this would have appeared clear even who I

am sure the uci did not you know they are

giving us such a tendentious trial to

even in my grave I would continue to believe

in the geniuses in the goodness of mussolini

forcing the duce how he reacted

to the agenda grandi and explicitly told him

that

his person was questioned grandi tried

to reassure him but mussolini he understood very well

that his head was wanted

for my part he still tries to have

the session postponed to the following day but

the traitors had the majority as

in any democratic parliament then

the adhesions in support of

that agenda began they spoke cyan

federzoni the stefanile Vecchi Bastianini

and you think cianetti mister president

it was farinacci himself who fixed me on

going to dino grandi's on the morning of 24th

July

farinacci cavallero wanted to replace

mussolini on 15th July

ten days before the meeting of the

grand council

farinacci told me that he considered it

essential that the command of the

armed forces passed from the skins r

in other words he was looking for secret

support to do exactly what

the grand council then proposed before

mussolini himself

and how did you answer I knew

farinacci too well to join him

he just wanted to take the place of

mussolini this is the truth

and also in germany before and after the

liberation of the duce you tried

in vain to convince the germans to

entrust you with italy i have not tried to

convince anyone it

has never been my habit twice

to the conspirators if you have to talk

of treason this word fits

more attention than the authorities and

priests chains point to the sky

they are the defendants Mr. President

you voted against the Duce I

stayed with Mussolini here is the truth for

this I am free and then in jail

allow me to face you my

congratulations Excellency with this

decision you have saved your head

with your help Excellency

I would like to reconstruct the places that the

defendants occupied that night around

the Duce

I beg you Mr. President to

allow the defendants to approach

this table the defendants come to the

table usher courses for the other series

please gentlemen arrange yourselves around the

table in the identical position that

you occupied on 24 July in Palazzo

Venezia the Duce was seated here in the center

between the two wings of the councilors

I was on his right then there was the

party secretary Carlo Sforza and

dino grandi where was he seated

here no next to me was not grande

on my right was suardo mister

president i'm sure and in these two

empty seats grandi and coopers were seated in order

and there next to marinelli

le marsico mister president

farinacci he comes here to carry out his

personal vendettas

fascism has nothing to do with it he has always

thought only in his interests don't

talk about fascism you who lived

among paperwork double

entry accounts and keep going you cannot deny

having signed the order of the

great day and having voted for him you

all voted yes you agreed with the

king's man with badoglio and you were all

united all lined up on the same

front next to each other like now

what does it matter what grandi pose sang

ciato if he's not there the big hot to him

there was coopers

in short, the clique of the conspirators

presented themselves compact thus

definitively all the hypotheses of

innocence of good faith

at the last supper the conspirators hold

tight together with an enemy army former

comrades the proof of their

guilt look at

the look at them they are next to each other

like today in the dock

so tomorrow in front of the firing squad

when the time comes I will ask the

court to throw your heads to

history and perhaps mine too because

Italy lives

good morning can we to speak here

in switzerland

no it is not possible the fascists

would understand that we did it

mussolini himself and he would go on

a rampage by now he too is in favor of

severe punishment on the trial cyan

at the same cycle position i am

telling you so that you can evaluate my

offer

the count will have to take refuge in a convent

that the same one I was staying will protect from the

fascists I

did my best but I couldn't

get more under these conditions and

diaries you will never have them antivj warn them

I have with me there is no other way to

save your husband you in my place

will accept would you give diaries that are worth a

man's life in exchange for nothing if i

for nothing because if you want to send him

to a convent and to capture him the first

complication

frankly

it's over then

i'm sincerely sorry i

still see complex advice

when he saw it now that you

refused to hand over the diaries he

will persecute you

to conceive they don't give up you too play

a double game

I like everyone

I would like to ask you not to tell my husband

everything is over failed let him

believe that after the sentence you will make him

flee his age is difficult to die

so atrociously he is a fascist who is

killed by over fascists

maybe

who told you that we can manage but

what is it that if there is little moved by

salvation you cannot keep it to yourself remember

that we are risking our lives because they are angry

with you on that he said but nothing

nothing

the special and extraordinary court

the president

the special extraordinary court

declares the defendants guilty of the

crimes ascribed to them and consequently

condemns bottai bastianini albi

federzoni de stefani bignardi alfieri

must grandi de marsico all defaulters and

the inmates must do sti gottardi

marinelli and ciano to the death penalty

also cianetti june to the penalty of

imprisonment for 30 years i

didn't understand a thing what happened

you are saved only to then finish the

congratulations wait for something

different and a giusti priest

no excellency you don't lose from this

good luck

thirty years are a long time in a year at the

latest you will be at home you will see what light

will grant you thanks to god cianetti

good luck

the director director of the mister

conte sorry did you see frau beetz

absolutely have to deliver some

important letters all right all right all right

ready I want villa feltrinelli for me it

is I'm Mussolini's daughter

let me immediately talk to my father

idiot hurry up well give me

secretary ready it's you sweet I'm age I

want to talk to my

father immediately understood and instead there is I know

but he finds it much more comfortable to get

tied up he doesn't dare talk to me because he lacks

the courage to admit that he doesn't want to

save my husband but it's not that he ca

n't he doesn't want to hear about cuts to come to the

phone and that he doesn't worry so much on the

phone I won't be able to force him to do anything

tell him that if he doesn't talk to me it means

he's afraid of Pavolini flour which is

one instrument in the hands of the fascists

who is a renegade the new finished

is you finally

look it's not your son who

begs you but the yellow countess who

speaks or here diaries written by my husband

your ex son-in-law and I want to read

a few lines before asking him have to

look for us I have it bad all the new york times

listen to Mussolini lashes out against

Christmas and it is surprising that the Germans

have not yet abolished this holiday which,

after all, only commemorates the birth of a

Jew and has forbidden the newspapers to

commemorate Christmas. likes to be

described like this without the usual mask

of defender of Christianity is in a hurry listen to

this mussolini said there is

only one general he likes what he

once said to his soldiers in albania

i know you are excellent

family men and this it's fine in

your home but not here

here you will never be enough

murderers thieves and rapists what do

you think there are five paternal parents full

of similar stuff of interest that the world

knows about them I think not you will only get them

if my husband frees

you choose the way they make you flee or

grazie but sure it's blackmail

today everyone is blackmailing you and there's nothing

else to do with you

and since you accept everyone's guys

now accept mine too I'm no

longer a Mussolini the story imagine

I knew how much do you care

everything you said said will be

swept away by a few bursts of machine guns and

you will be remembered only for the antics

the starace for your pickaxes and

for the fairy tale of the 8 million

bayonets I

don't give a damn

here's the 'only fascist teaching that

I accept less alfredo I dare you to get me

arrested are you the courage forward what's

up with them I dare you challenge fans to

cook with my husband at least try to

be as ferocious as but to the end

disgusting as I am but there was

how happened but they are

looking for an idea and they wanted to know where they are

hidden been the eagle didn't get wet

but it was fast some executioners some real executioners

i saw guys laughing at the agony with

a laugh made of terror many spoke

without teeth and with that inhuman smile

on the face what outside ari germans

as if every italian knows who knows

what secrets they must all know them

moratti calm down now he's with us we have a

false idea of ​​italy sooner or later

these people will wipe out all fascists

starting with mussolini they survive

only to take revenge I heard it in

their screams in their silences you are

all here you

have to flee flee flee to

Switzerland to far away America because even

if you save yourselves from the Germans you will fall

into the hands of the partisans they

hate you too they want us dead I enjoy

knowing that the fascists tear each other to pieces

among them we Germans the fascists the

partisans will take their revenge on you and

I

too I don't think that taking revenge for what they

did to me as far as

Nazi diaries are known to be against your

father it is against you it is possible it

is not possible that everyone hates us

no one will be saved not even if

they killed your father it seems to you

they would remove the blood everywhere

you breathe it in the air you can feel it

on your hands on a skin is the

temptation to let it flow more and more and more

and more you have to leave and

immediately before it the Germans discover each other

maybe they freed me just to find out

where you are and where the diaries are hidden no

I'm staying here

and I challenge my father I challenge them to arrest

me to lend me no nope tried it will be enough to

torture you they won't repeat the mistake

made with cyan again

they don't want no more investigations in the

trials nor sentences they just want screams

of pain and more blood I

brought them some cigarettes

please

here

for the love of god don't get me wrong

my presence here does not mean

that there are only a few hours left nothing has been decided yet

believe me nothing on the contrary he has brought you the

pardon requests and they have already been prepared I would like you

to sign them immediately be aware of

forwarding them tonight you

will also have ciano sign them yes

then there is no more hope with or without

heaven the duce will not let us die I am

sure he has wanted to punish

only our pride father father

you must go to the leader beg him and

make him understand that now all

revenges are useless

I will try every road but be more serene

father I know we are asking you for

something that is superior to your

office but forgive us we know having to

die by a whim of fate for

a revenge to which we are strangers go

father go put what a god taxi driver and we

see them call you go thanks to who

speaks thanks again ball

[

Music] I

brought him some cigarettes but I

see what you have thank you enough all the

same you only came for this I have

here with me the pardon

I would like to forward it tonight I have good

hopes for the pardon

if I ask to ask for the pardon of the

criminals for your children for

yourselves you have a duty to try everything

father I have to see between

Do you know the German ladies for a while only you

can find her

I think I can trust you if it's been a

long time since the Germans

promised to free me I just need to

know when and how I can't wait any longer

I need to know what they still

intend to do with you

don't be under any illusions because

you know something is true my wife never

showed up what

happened the deal was if it didn't come

everything was fixed and frau

beetz confirmed it for me

no it's

true it's not true why then they gave me

deceived by diet have faith have

faith no father I will

never sign the pardon I will never give in it is

a murder a murder and god

damn mussolini and all his

accomplices

but they will pay it everyone will pay it is

a crime

everyone knows it is a crime yes I'm

alone here I can't do anything it's not

fair it's not fair you

have to sign pardon his excellency is

waiting for you comrades it is certainly because I

have summoned you here there is not a minute to

lose

I have here the pardon requests signed by

all five all those sentenced to death

without exception two hours ago I

discussed the problem with the judge and

charles osimo and with the prosecutor

we came to the conclusion that there

is certainly among us here who has the power

to examine all these

questions and to reject them or forward them

to the head of state

I know that if they were presented to

Mussolini

he would reject them without hesitation

for him a closed file but the party

does not want to ask the Duce to write no

on the pardon request and bears

his son-in-law's signature

on every case the responsibility will be his

as well as ours you feel as minister

of justice of the social republic do you

think you can receive the requests for

pardons presented by the inputs a I have

nothing against it but I warn you that

I myself will immediately take it to the head

of state to the duce this it means that

you want to bear all responsibility

mussoli talking about responsibility

means admitting that you have been wrong

up to now in any case I am not

interested in responsibilities but the

procedure is the party wants to shoot

convicts at any cost please take a seat

but the minister of justice does not

c 'enter the party with the death of

traitors and he will get it none of us I

say no one can leave

a man like janus alive and I don't

want him to

decide my fate tomorrow your

fate ours we must distrust

everyone the possible prosecutors and

executioner of the pedigree only if there

are no enemies but they could be

anti-fascist tribunals I am ready to

write not in these tones if the

justice minister recognizes the

legitimacy of my year I do not have

this authority we are at war

in every case it would be up to the

military authority to receive the requests for pardons and

decide which military authority the

territorial commander of the Veneto seems to me

to be the general I cry but I can

only forward the questions to the

supreme commander of the armed forces

hierarchically and the supreme commander of the

armed forces and the Duce is not you who

have the right to

immediately reject requests for pardon here

at this moment before the minister

of justice in the presence of the

party secretary but I don't have the

right you give me I don't have

the pleasure and you want to my command

deals with recruitment in the

provincials and then contact

the territorial command of the

verona area instead the trial took place in

verona and the sentence was passed there

the corso and vianini flamini phone calls

to the consul immediately he is right and if

vianini is also refuses to reject

the requests for pardon on july the

germans you take care of vianini i

go to general carter the execution

must take place at dawn

ready now but it's three o'clock

okay i'll come right away who is sleep sleep

finally has plans we discussed

it we d 'agree that it is up to you to receive

the requests for pardons from the condemned and

reject them

I yes you are the commander of the

territorial area of ​​Verona where

the execution will take place tomorrow morning and therefore it's up to you

but it is absurd the leader has decided all right

I hope that there are no misunderstandings as

happened for the grand council the

party wants death we say no no I

enti vianini the requests for pardon must

be rejected write no and it's all

over

I refuse it's the party that asks you it's

not enough I want an order from the

general command of the militia from which I

defend and okay we love

immediately renato I receive meanwhile

join him we have only three hours of

casperia c

ready yes here he is your

superior again hedgehogs yes I am the consul

pianini

but york

and you have to leave but in switzerland

your children do it for them and don't be

stubborn I'll get you a

car a fake passport right away

I'll find something and hurry up written by who

are looking for you here

and of these

that in fact

all the paths traced

it

I'm here for your father it's over it's

over then this is the last answer
