Bravissimo: the release
1955 italy
Maestro Impallato has Gigetto under his wing, whose father is in Regina Coeli. He tries to free him, in vain, by taking him to the child's relatives. He tries the nuns at the San Callisto Orphanage (as it says on the possibly fake sign). The building is on Via Dandolo in Rome.
