THE BOOK
Tuscan Maremma, November 1943. Le Case is a village far from everything. Seen from there, even the war has a different flavor. René is the village cobbler. Everyone calls him Settebello, a nickname he took on himself at a young age, after leaving three fingers on the lathe. Today he is fifty years old. Reserved, solitary, taciturn. No family. But there is Anna, his lifelong friend, who perhaps could have been something more… René has never had the courage to declare himself. In reality, he has never had the courage to do anything. His days are always the same: home and work. Toeing the line. Anna has a son, Edoardo, everyone believes he is at the front. One day he is captured by the Wehrmacht with a handful of partisans and shot on the spot. The woman is beside herself with grief, now she has only one goal: to continue the revolution. In fact, one evening she disappears. She leaves René a note, a few instructions. But soon another rumor leaks out: another group of rebels has fallen into an ambush. They have locked them up there, in the bishop's villa. It seems that among the prisoners there is even a woman... Settebello can no longer stand by and watch.
