Documentary of edited archival material treating the war of the partisans, the trial of the ex-police commissioner of Rome, Pietro Caruso, and his assistant, Occhetto, and the Fosse Ardeatine.
"The person who got the idea for Giorni di gloria was Serandrei, one of the most famous Italian film editors of the time. The idea was really and only his, as opposed to what some people say. He edited all the material and is thus the greatest craftsman of Giorni di gloria, which is a film, mainly, of editing. I worked ion the editing with him, and then my role was to coordinate the material which, for the most part, was given to us by the partisan groups from the south, and more importantly from the north." (Giuseppe De Santis)

film director
Giuseppe De Santis
Giuseppe De Santis (Fondi 1917 - Rome 1997) began working in cinema in the 1940's as a critic, screenwriter and assistant to Luchino Visconti on Ossessione (1942). He participated in the Resistance in Rome and, in 1946, worked with Aldo Vergano on Outcry. In 1947 he debuted in directing with The Tragic Hunt and, two years later, directed his masterpiece Bitter Rice. In 1950 he made Under the Olive Tree, which was filmed in Lazio and is the ideal continuation of the preceding film. He then made Rome 11:00H one of his biggest international successes. In Yugoslavia he directed Road a Year Long (1958), and he went on location in the Soviet Union to direct Attack and Retreat (1964), one of his most emotional films. After a long silence, he participated in the filming of Oggi è un Altro Giorno (1995).
