The film tells the events that led to the tragic end of Giacomo Matteotti and to the establishment of the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini in Italy.
[1][2][3] In Rome on 30 May 1924, the Honorable Giacomo Matteotti, secretary of the Unitary Socialist Party, in a courageous and engaging speech, asks for the elections of 6 April 1924 to be cancelled and contests their validity.
His words immediately arouse reactions in the press and in public opinion, and the fear of popular uprisings is also unleashed within the government.
Public opinion is upset, and the political opposition coagulates and decides to boycott the work of Parliament.
It is difficult to start investigations for the rescue of Matteotti, but the media and public pressure force Benito Mussolini to make decisions.
