The ballrooms where you fell in love with Il mondo sung by Jimmy Fontana (and the smoke of cigarettes). Checked trousers for men and rounded-up hairstyles for women. And then the myth of the Fiat 500, the flag of a country that is reborn and aims for well-being.
Or those leather balls that you had to be careful how you kicked them so as not to get hurt and which, every second time, in the courtyard risked breaking some window.
It is Zamora's dive into 1960s Italy, Neri Marcorè's first film as director, produced by Pepito Produzioni with Rai Cinema and distributed in theaters by 01 from 4 April.
A coming-of-age story, which tells a lot about how we were and about that Italy that was growing up and where everything seemed possible. When we all went to the neighbors who already had a TV and played in front of Mike Bongiorno's black and white programs in the living room with the striped wallpaper. It is the Italy of the boom in cinema and photo novels of love, of the new calculators and Olivetti typewriters, of the advertisements for liqueurs that promised to "invigorate" even convalescents. Women who, with string of pearls and gloves, demand freedom and in a few years will cut all the hems for the miniskirt. The Italy of the little factory and of the belief that the best was always yet to come.
