Portela, 2 September 1943. - The witnesses of the bombing speak
"Eyes of war. The drama of the civilians of Trento in the Second World War" a documentary by Maurizio Panizza and Federico Maraner. What a bombing is is impossible to tell to the end. We can only imagine it from the terrified faces of so many innocent children, close to affections, dreams, hopes. Feelings suddenly interrupted by a thunder-like roar that is natural, but has absolutely nothing because that is only the perverse fruit of human ingenuity. The following spoke: Raffaele Crocco, Maurizio Panizza and Luigi Sardi.
