Padre Pio: Between Heaven and Earth poster
6.7

The story of Padre Pio (1887-1968) from the onset of the stigmata during World War I, when he prayed that soldiers' suffering be his, until his death. The story is told by Emilia, Pio's friend, to a Vatican official reviewing Padre Pio's potential canonization. We watch local people venerate the humble Capuchin monk, we see petty jealousies within the Church almost bring him down, and we experience his decision to build a Home for the Relief of Suffering, a labor of love begun just after World War II. Emilia and her husband Dr. Sanguineti work tirelessly beside the humble but sensible Pio.

The Monster of Florence poster
7.2

The miniseries tells the eight double murders committed from 1968 to 1985, in the Florentine countryside, where young couples who were massacred appartavano in their cars looking for intimacy. It particularly emphasizes the personal battle of Renzo Rontini, father of Pia killed with her boyfriend Claudio Stefanacci in Vicchio, in Mugello (29 July 1984), in the search for the culprit of the death of his daughter.

Hotel Rome poster
5.2

1939: a Tuscan village awaits the arrival of Il Duce. A dog finds a decomposing fetus. Investigations begin immediately: given the exceptional circumstances, someone must be found responsible. And they find someone: a member of the only poor family in the area. A predictable social-political discourse, lacking in talent and inspiration. Chiti was a slightly better writer.
