- The documentary traces the history of our country through the cinema of Francesco Rosi, starting from the film that the director thought told the mother of all negotiations between the State and the mafias: "Lucky Luciano". By lining up his works most linked to the news, politics and Italian society: Salvatore Giuliano, La sfida, Le mani sulla città, Il caso Mattei, Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, Cadaveri eccellenti, Tre Fratelli, Uomini contro, Dimenticare Palermo, we obtain one of the most lucid analyses of Italian history. It is a journey in the civil cinema of Rosi, of the Citizen Rosi, as he liked to call himself. A journey that applies his method of work, the one that has allowed his films to resist the elements of novelty brought over time by investigations and historical analysis. As Rosi did, we worked on documents, desecrated materials from Italian and foreign archives, sentences, qualified testimonies of scholars, magistrates, men of cinema. The documentary is also a sentimental journey because the story of Francesco Rosi's life and cinema is told by his daughter Carolina, who has witnessed her father's work since she was a child and who assisted him with love until his death.

- D'Annunzio was more than a poet, a writer, a dramaturg; he was a politician, too. And that's how in 1919 with a group of legionaries he enters Rijeka, according to him "the city of life", declaring its independency and founding the Charter of Carnaro. "One of the most modern constitutions of the twentieth century - asserts Giordano Bruno Guerri - up to date even now; here D'Annunzio imagines an ideal city where beauty, music and liberty rein." The Special presents a little known political D'Annunzio, an intellectual who became active but didn't neglect his being a poet, aesthete, ideal lover, star of the twentieth century, marketing man before the term was invented (in order to sell his second poetry collection, he spread the word that he died falling from a horse). After Rijeka he returns to Italy in what will be the "Vittoriale of the Italians", full of his life between pictures, tacky artwork, dandy clothes, and relics of love but also of literature. A production realized by Maremosso for Sky Arte HD exclusively, which broadcasted it in 2013 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of Gabriele D'Annunzio.
