This is the story of Giorgio Ambrosoli, who had been official liquidator of the Private Bank of Michele Sindona for five years, and was killed in Milano between 11 and 12 july 1979.
Thirty years later his son Umberto, who was a kid at the time, tells the story based on personal memories, those of his family, his father’s friends and collaborators, through his father’s diaries, trial documents and films from the RAI archive. On the background is the history of Italy in those dramatic times of terrorism.
Investigating the knots of a corrupted and lethal political-financial system, Ambrosoli acted in isolation, well aware of the risks he was taking. He wrote to his wife: «I will pay a high price for this job: I knew it before accepting and I will not complain, because I had the unique chance to do something for this Country [...] Whatever happens, anyway, you know what you must do, and I’m sure you will do it very well».
Giorgio Ambrosoli took a decision coherent to his ideals of freedom and responsibility. He’s a hero of our times.
