Guido Piccoli

A despairing man murders his wife and his son on New Year's Eve before surrendering to the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, his only surviving child Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime.

In this rare Rai television special from 1984, Andrea Pazienza recounts his artistic and personal journey through comics, politics, creativity, and generational anxieties. Through characters like Zanardi and Pentothal, a lively and intimate portrait emerges of a visionary author, a symbol of Italian culture in the 1970s and 1980s.
