Il cinema di Romolo Guerrieri April 11, 12, 2024 in Turin, Italy

 

Exactly 50 years after the filming of the film "A Man, a City", which began in Turin on Monday, April 8, 1974, the Cultural Association Officine Ianós with Alessandro Rota wants to pay homage not only to the film made in the Piedmontese capital, but to the entire film career of Romolo Guerrieri with two days dedicated to him and organized with the collaboration of the National Cinema Museum, of the GLocal Film Festival and the Circolo dei Lettori.

On Thursday, April 11 at 8:30 p.m. at the Cinema Massimo, in Sala Rondolino, the Cinema Museum hosts the screening of "A Man, a City". Romolo Guerrieri participates in the presentation together with part of the artistic and technical cast of the film. In collaboration with the State Police.

On Friday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Circolo dei Lettori, in the Music Room, two volumes will be presented: "Il cinema di Romolo Guerrieri" by Giuseppe Costigliola (2023, Ed. Il Foglio) and "A man, a city. Il commissario di Torino" by Alessandro Rota (2018, Ed. Alzani). In addition to Romolo Guerrieri, the two authors Alessandro Rota and Giuseppe Costigliola will participate.

Based on the critically acclaimed novel "Il commissario di Torino" by Riccardo Marcato and Piero Novelli, "Un uomo, una città" by Romolo Guerrieri is a 1974 film with a screenplay by Mino Roli and Nico Ducci, produced by Luigi Rovere. It is the story of a city, Turin, and a commissioner, played by Enrico Maria Salerno: a figure inspired by the famous Giuseppe Montesano, the legendary head of the Turin flying squad. In "One Man, One City" Inspector Michele Parrino tackles the problems that the big city opposes to him: migration from the South, drugs, prostitution, violence, the contrasts represented by the "well-to-do Turin", the small underworld better known as "ligéra". Together with him there is the reporter played by Luciano Salce, whose friendship will not fail even in the darkest moments, always with a hint of goliardy. Behind the scenes and beyond the contrasts of a city that never ceases to be, surprisingly, unknown.
