De Gasperi: The Man of Hope

Overview

In August 1954, Alcide De Gasperi, now at the end of his personal and political career, left the Christian Democrats' headquarters in Rome and visited his daughter, Lucia, a nun. He revealed to her that he had definitively retired from active politics and was leaving for Sella for a period of rest, necessary for his precarious health. Upon arriving in Sella, where he was reunited with his family, the statesman and his grandson Giorgio went for a walk in the mountains, and there, prompted by the boy's questions, he began to recount his life story, an often painful journey down memory lane.
