Are Italians good people? debatable. But ours are, without any doubt, not warlike people, also because the millenary history of the country has seen too many wars, violence and pestilences. starting from this particular historical condition, Scherza con i fanti wants to be a universal hymn to peace, but above all it presents itself as a journey that passes through recent Italian history, exploring the difficult and even ironic relationship of the population with the military world and, in general, with power through four war diaries.

A journey through Italy across a century of popular religious devotion. Ancient and more recent saints, white and black Madonnas, devotional processions... are the expression of a need for the sacred that seems very distant from our way of being, but perhaps is not that distant at all. Today, especially in the South, but with some “isolated” locations in the North, popular faith is still a very real thing, which finds its finest expression in song and in music.

Мария, Маттео и Йоле — трое неаполитанцев, живущих в непосредственной близости к Везувию. Это удивительное место, полное мифов, историй и легенд. Мария, которая имеет флористическое хозяйство прямо у подножья вулкана, является его верным сторожем. Маттео, талантливый художник, создает свои картины из пепла Везувия. Певица Йоле посвящает свое творчеству образу Богородицы, которая на протяжении веков была покровительницей этих мест. Герои делятся своими впечатлениями от жизни на вулкане и поднимают вопрос, что опаснее для Неаполя: Везувий, который может проснуться в любую минуту, или человек, который меньше чем за 100 лет нанес непоправимый вред природе?

The characters include a dirty-dealing 80-year-old mayor with a troubling Fascist past and a bloodthirsty middle-aged writer - also an ex-Fascist, who has now turned Marxist-Leninist and is ready to settle his accounts with history. There is a young leftist idealist, a city councilperson who is fighting real estate speculation. This is the portrait of Latina and its inhabitants. This province is certainly an anomaly, but is not so far from the present-day times that all of Italy is going through now.
