Checco's father is played by Lino Turoldo, brother of writer David Maria Turoldo whose childhood is portrayed in the film (with Checco being a fictionalized version of David as a child). Additionally, Lino's voice in the film was actually dubbed by David.

Inspired by the childhood of intellectual priest David Maria Turoldo, writer of the script (which he adapted from his own short story).
