"Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli is a renowned figure among Italian art historians and archaeologists,” stated Alberto Barbera, the director of the Venice Film Festival. “A lesser-known fact is that, forced to serve as a guide for Hitler and Mussolini during the Nazi leader’s trip to Italy, he considered the idea of organising an assassination attempt to get rid of the two unwelcome dictators. Caria reconstructs the incredible affair with irony and documentary precision, raising questions that continue to be relevant today.”

Enrico Caria is the man behind dark and satirical comedies such as 17, ovvero: l'incredibile e triste storia del cinico Rudy CainoCarogneBlek Giek and L'era legale, as well as the documentary Vedi Napoli e poi muori.
