Four fifteen in the afternoon of June 10, 1924. Two witnesses testify to having witnessed a fight inside a car and seeing what would later be recognized as the ID card of the Honorable Giacomo Matteotti, a member of the Italian Parliament, being ejected. Matteotti (Anatomy of a Fascism) begins with the testimony of those who were there, those who saw it and did not back down, to reconstruct what Matteotti himself called the greatest danger: silence.

After the success of Cosa Nostra explained to children, a great actress capable of combining theatre and civil commitment returns, accompanied by the award-winning playwright Stefano Massini and the sound of the Solisti dell'Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo.
