- A masterful orator, Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy in October 1922, four years after the end of the First World War. Using the threat of chaos, he seized power in a legal coup that would inspire many dictators. The son of a far-left activist, Mussolini enjoyed the support of employers and many veterans. By promising the Italian people a return to greatness, repressing communists and suppressing civil liberties, he won the admiration of many in the 1920s, and reached the height of his popularity during the Ethiopian War in 1935.
- "La valanga azzurra" traces the unforgettable journey of Italy's alpine ski team in the 1970s captained by champions like Gustavo Thoeni and Piero Gros.

Unpublished testimonies from the protagonists are woven into the narrative of Giovanni Veronesi, who also shares his past as an aspiring champion, bringing to life the rise and inevitable decline of this legendary sporting force.

- Lelio Luttazzi was one of the most representative figures of the magical period in which music, theatre, cinema and television spoke a common language made up of great writing, "sense of humor" and elegance. His life and artistic career are intertwined with our recent history with many narrative intersections starting from the multicultural Trieste that will mark his entire training. The intent of the documentary is to tell the story of a great artist, but also a human story that has never been too in-depth and examined, perhaps due to the extreme refinement and confidentiality of this "healthy wearer of a tuxedo" as Enrico Vaime called him. And it is precisely in a tuxedo that Francesco Montanari tells us about some moments of Lelio Luttazzi's artistic life. But who was Lelio Luttazzi? There are many possible definitions, all partial: a reluctant showman, a meticulous composer, a sly orchestra leader, a singer by chance and a pianist by vocation, an actor, writer and director with the mission of swing. The documentary film proceeds on this double track, on the one hand the story of the period, with the charm of music and television shows engraved in our memory and, on the other, the story of the sensational judicial error suffered by Luttazzi. A mistake that hurt an upright and brilliant person who was never really "compensated" by the media, even for his extreme modesty. Among the strong points are the specially created vocal and instrumental performances by artists such as Stefano Bollani, Bobby Solo, Drusilla Foer, Simona Molinari, Remo Anzovino, Giovanna Famulari, Lorenzo Hengeller and Rossana Casale that give a spectacular and unprecedented touch to the project, whose The narrative is completed with the contributions, among others, of Fiorello, Fabio Fazio, Pupi Avati, Riccardo Rossi, Massimiliano Pani and his daughter Donatella Luttazzi. The exclusive testimony of his wife, Rossana Luttazzi, who has made the material of the foundation and that of the private archive available, has given the documentary an unprecedented and intimate touch that makes this a true documentary "upbeat" or with the swing which was the expressive figure of Lelio Luttazzi.
- The story of the Perched Baron, the young rebel in 18th-century Italy who, at the age of 12, refuses to eat the snails imposed by his father's tyranny and takes to the trees, never to return, has enchanted generations of readers. When he wrote it in 1956, Italo Calvino was 33 and about to turn in his Italian Communist Party card, horrified by the silence of Italian leaders after the suppression of the Hungarian uprising - his own snails. Beyond this revolt, the young writer evokes between the lines a position he has long chosen for himself, halfway between the mute beauties of the world and the society of men.
