The Fascist: Militar Training
The Fascist headquarters where Arcovazzi (Ugo Tognazzi) carried out his war training is in the complex of buildings between Viale Castrense and Piazza S. Croce in Gerusalemme. Today the Museo Storico della Fanteria is there.
PLOT:
Arcovazzi, a fascist in the militia, has to arrest a well-known philosopher who has always been an opponent of the regime, Professor Bonafè: the film recounts in a satirical key the relationship between the two characters, the odyssey they undertake through occupied Italy in 1944 to reach Rome and the friendship that is established between them despite their ideological differences. In Rome, Arcovazzi parades with the uniform of a federalist, but the city has been liberated by the Allies and the population, after much discontent, lashes out at him. It is the good professor Bonafè who saves him.
