(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 20 - In the end, who is a wealthy merchant? Nothing more than a fascist counter-revolutionary. Echoes steals? Only a man who basically applies his own proletarian justice that must be understood. The film I WAS IN WAR BUT I DID NOT KNOW I WAS by Fabio Resinaro moves between these two paradoxical ideologies very present in the politicized seventies, and tells them about a well-known fact: that is the story of Pierluigi Torregiani, owner of a jewelry shop in Milan, killed in 1979 in an ambush by the Pac (Armed Proletarians for Communism) because he was guilty of defending himself during a robbery in a pizzeria in which one of the robbers died. In short, a highly political film, inspired by the book of the same name signed by AlbertoDabrazzi Torregiani (in a wheelchair after the injuries received during the murder of his father) and Stefano Rabozzi,and produced by Luca Barbareschi, in the hall with 01 in 200 copies on 24/25/26 January.
To give the face to Pierluigi Torregiani is a credible Francesco Montanari who plays this very determined jeweler, almost maniac, targeted by the newspapers as a bourgeois justice who at one point is given an escort by the police.
Beside him a reliable wife (LauraChiatti) and their three adopted children.
At a certain point, however, the threats of death become more numerous;
the jeweler has now become a perfect target for the PACs, a group of terrorists led by Cesare Battisti, who identify him as a culprit to punish.
Which then will happen on time.
"Is my Torregiani unpleasant? He is unpleasant in spite of himself, because he finds himself living in a dynamic stronger than him that he can no longer bear and so he rebels - says Montanari -. He does not accept to pretend nothing has happened, a pragmatic man who does not want to submit to something he is not guilty of. "
On the other hand, Alberto Torregiani, a first-person witness, says: "With the arrest of Cesare Battisti, my father's story does not completely end, but the battles that have been fought are certainly given more value. the real engine of that murder. "
