Baron Mimì Galluzzo's (Pino Caruso) villa is the villa at Casal Lumbroso in Rome. The villa of Casale Lumbroso 167 is THE villa, or rather the villa that, at least as far as the last 20 years are concerned, holds the record for the number of films: it pops up practically everywhere! We are talking about a villa capable of surpassing in number of films even that of Olgiata, and without having the charm. The body of the building is much less finished than the villa near the Olgiata golf courses, and has undergone several changes over the years, so that today it is a large villa surrounded by cars in which the charm of the garden with the rocks that we were so used to seeing in the cinema has lost much of its charm. The pool is still there, the rocks too, but the rest.... Maybe it is the yellowish colour of the plaster, maybe it is the demolition of that portico with circular windows that graced the entrance façade in the 1980s, maybe it is the current prosaic nature of the whole (not even the portico of the internal façade exists any more), but the glance is completely different.Watch the film on www.movieitalyplus.comPLOT: Sicilian baron Mimì Galluzzo has to compromise with his wife and some mafiosi in order to pocket his father-in-law's inheritance.

Correval'anno di grazia 1870: The judicial prison
Augusto Parenti, a fervent patriot, is locked up in a narrow cell. Prison is a dark and oppressive place, a symbol of papal repression. Parenti, despite the harsh conditions, keeps his revolutionary spirit alive, encouraging his fellow prisoners not to lose hope. The Prison is the Palazzo Baronale, located in Piazza San Nicola in Mentana (Rome), formerly the mayor's office in L'esorciccio.PLOTIn Rome still under papal rule, but on the eve of becoming the capital of Italy, numerous political prisoners, guilty of wishing for the end of temporal power, languished in prison. Some, after some time, gave in and asked the Pope for a pardon; others, more firm in their ideas, decisively refused it. Among them was a commoner, Augusto Parenti, who, despite being seriously ill, stubbornly resisted. As liberal-minded as he is, his wife Teresa, an energetic and courageous woman, tries as best she can to get by, for herself and her little son Mario, until, driven by need, she accepts the advice of a priest friend, Don Aldo, and sends the child to the seminary. As the day of the liberation of Rome approaches, a patriot, a friend of Augusto's, clandestinely penetrates the city with a load of weapons and calls on Teresa to gather his comrades. Most of them back down. Finally, almost without a shot in the arm, but also amidst the scant enthusiasm of the population, the Piedmontese entered Rome. Penetrated into the prisons, at the head of a group of proud commoners, Teresa frees her husband, who, exhausted by illness, dies in her arms: before seeing him expire, however, Teresa will describe to him in triumphant tones the liberation of Rome, as he had always dreamed it would be.
