Now you need to give the child a name.
His name is Giuseppe.
Like my father.
But one name is not enough. We need the second one.
And third, to complete the registration.
I only came up with one thing.
Well, as a middle name
Felice will suit him.
How do you like it? For good luck. I think it will be useful to him.
Exactly.
And let the third name be Angiolino. He was born a baby and so early.
He has blue eyes
and a kind soul - this is immediately obvious.
Who's going to sign up?
If there is no one, I can.
Ida.
If there's something what are you ashamed to admit?
better tell me than some official, right?
Give me a piece of paper.
What is it, baby?
Well, that's it, that's it. Quiet.
Take it.
GIUSEPPE FELICE ANGIOLINO, MOTHER – IDA RAMUNDO.
Beautiful handwriting!
It's time to feed.
Like this. We are ready.
Come on, let's go to mum.
Mum will feed you.
The first milk is the healthiest.
That's it, well done. Well done, smart girl.
Well done.
Hello!
Welcome, Giuseppe.

Now. Give me a second.
Good morning, signora! How is your champion back?
I'm waiting for him any day.
He went crazy about the fascists. Let's hope he wised up.

My friend's son. The Nazis gave him castor oil to drink. Stomp.
- Have a good day! - And you.
Good-bye.
It's been standing here for a quarter of an hour! Move!
Where did you come from?
How handsome you are!
Incredible!
Check this out!
Look at me.
Smart girl.
And what eyes!
Mum, who is it?
Who is it?
He is an orphan.
I found him on the street.
How is it outside? Did you just find it?
Wow!
Does he have a name?
- Giuseppe. - So you're Peppe? Hello Peppino!
- Can I hold him? - No! No, no, you'll still drop it.
I lift the weight with one hand Will I drop it? How beautiful!
No!
Give it to me.
Mum, maybe Shall we take the dog then?
The one sitting near the store I told you.
Listen, Nino.
What is he doing?
Give it to no one for now don't talk about Giuseppe.
If anything, he...
...your nephew or cousin.
- Brother? - Yes.
Let's just say that he has no other relatives,
and they gave it to us for a while.
Mum, if they ask me, you know what will I say? "What's your business?"
We need to celebrate this! I'm here for cigarettes, back and forth!
What?
I knew it, that you don't miss the chance!
You're not old enough to smoke yet!
And when will I grow up? At 90 years old?
Cigarettes or ice cream? You know, I’ll take everything: both for you and for me.
No, Nino! Or cigarettes or ice cream.
Here.
I give you two liras. Gotta get it done.
No, mum, no! Cigarettes and ice cream.
And a sports newspaper.
Today is Monday, a new issue has been released. You apparently forgot.
So will you go? Stripped?
So what? Are you embarrassed?
- Give me the money. - Money! You only talk about money!
You'll become a robber. Or murderers!
I'll join the "black brigades" when I grow up,
and I will fight for the Motherland in the name of the Duce.
Just don't be boring for two measly lire, fork out,
otherwise the Jewish woman has become worse.
How many times have I asked don't say that! You are the son of a teacher!
Do you attend classes? in a classical gymnasium!
And you say like an uneducated brute!
Will you teach your brother this too?
That's it, give me the money.
You are my good one.
You've met Nino!
No.
Well, how do you like your older brother?
Yes.
Like this.
What will I tell him, Fausto? He is nowhere to be found.
- Hello, Fausto! - Back?
- As you see. - They are there.
- Who? - Fascists.
- Hello, Nino! - Fernando!
How are you
- Hello, Nino! - Hello.
I was just driving in San Lorenzo, what's wrong?
It's outrageous!
Flagrant violation!
To me! How many times can you repeat? don't you dare look at them!
Yes, but why are they here?
Why did you bring him?
Come on, stop it! Hands off the table!
We discussed this, I am against it!
What was there to do? He was waiting for me at the store!
He has no one.
He even knows his nickname.
Blitz!
Look, he answers.
Come on, come with me.
Let's go! There's Giuseppe! Giuseppe!
Giuseppe!
There you go. Meet Giuseppe. Give him a hand!
Come on, say hello!
Like?
No.
By the way, I managed to buy just two packs of cigarettes.
I got some ice cream too but it melted on the stairs.
I also bought Blitz an excellent leash.
He is now a homebody, not a stray.
- And how much did it cost? - Mum, just don’t start.
This dog is another hungry mouth!
And I don’t have an extra card!
Forget about the Blitz! My friends and I will feed him.
So we definitely won’t die of hunger.
And then, I won’t stay in Rome.
I'll travel all over the world! Without stops.
I'll go to Greenland to Hollywood, to Chicago!
I'll play the balalaika in the steppe! And I’ll take Giuseppe with me.
Won't you take me?
No.
You are absent. You'll stay here.
Nino.
Son.
Hello.
She's coming.
Here she comes out!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Nicoletto, I'm not lying, there really is a child there -
he has blue eyes huge as plums.
He looks, listens. All in all, I swear, he seems to understand everything.
Wait, isn't your mother a widow?
Are children born only from husbands?
You idiot, you didn't know!
- Hello, Nino. - Hello, Nino!
That's it, I won't.
Look, guys, don't say a word to anyone. My brother lives here illegally.
If the mother finds out about this, then this will suit me!
We won't tell anyone, show us!
How nice you are. He's just a baby. Look.
So Littel, and already with a complete set!
By the way, more of yours!

Well, well, get some sleep.
- What's happened? What do you want? - Signor Marruso has run out of chalk.
Looks like he's feeding on it!
Let's go.
Well, what's there again?
Nonsense, I'm only going down because of the dog.
And I thought, for the sake of the ladies.
You better not piss me off, Ronaldo.
I love shells more than fireworks.
If only the anxiety were real! Then I would finally go to fight.
For whom, Nino? For myself? For people like us?
Or for the rulers, that the territory is divided?
- For the Motherland, for the Duce! - For the Duce?
That's right, for the Duce!
And what's funny?
Everyone knows Churchill and the Pope concluded treaty on the inviolability of Rome.
No one will drop bombs on us!

- Seventeen. - So you should go with your Duce!
Calm down, everyone calm down! Nothing, it happens.

He said a hundred times: they just fly by!
Where have you been?
- She woke you up. - You have to go to school in the morning!
You're talking about school again!
This is an outdated establishment!
No one needs it!
You don't let the poor fellow sleep. Let's go home. Come on, give it to me!
Anthropocentrism, that is, the idea human superiority
over the natural world according to Spinoza, is a mistake,
most characteristic and frequently committed
all those...
Indeed, Spinoza believes that those in power
need people endowed with empathy.
Carry on, we're listening. Very interesting!
Spinoza's Ethics is a Radical Refusal from the desire for power.
And in the fifth part of his work, entitled "On the Power of the Mind" ...
Guys! Guys, please! Return to your seats, now!
Duce!
Mancuso! Mancuso, get out of class! Out! Enough, guys!
Duce!
- Mancuso! Where are you going? - I have a special pass!
You are already here?
Hello. Waited me? Let's go.
Maybe take a piss right on them what do you think?
Right, go ahead.
- What do you want, Marche? Disappear! - It's crazy, what impudence.
Everyone went.
Unhappy!
What will you do without a diploma? Tell!
You or you die or you'll go to jail!
Mum, how many times can I repeat:
I'll go to war I will fight for the Motherland, for the Duce!
- For the Duce? - Calm down!
No, you're the one to calm down! Your father also received a diploma!
If he were alive, would you do the same? Became a criminal while your father was alive?
- Enough! - Glad he's dead?
- What are you doing? - Satisfied? I'm over it.
We're going to school I'll talk to the director myself.
Step march! You need a diploma You are the son of teachers!
Glory to the nation of heroes!
Glory to the immortal Motherland!
- Again to your stern sons... - Enough, stop!
...the cherished ideal is close. - That's it, do whatever you want!
If you're ready to go to war, go ahead!
I've had enough, do whatever you want!
Romans with living courage... Sing along, Blitz!
Dante's bright dream
Hearts are filled again
