Appunti su un fatto di cronaca

Notes on a New Item

Country: Italy
Year: 1951

The camera visits the place, where a little girl was killed 12 years old: the suburb of Primavalle in Rome. Accompanied by Pratolini's commentary we see houses and streets and stop to take a closer look at groups of children playing. The murder of Antonella Bracci had a profound effect throughout the country. The young Lionello Egidi was rapidly accused of the crime. Originally this documentary lasted 8 minutes but currently there is only a print of 5 minutes available.
