SANGUEPAZZO

At dawn on April 30, 1945, five days after Liberation, two blood-soaked corpses were found in the outskirts of Milan. Osvaldo Valenti and Luisa Ferida – executed by partisans. Idolized by the public, a famous – and infamous – couple on and off screen, Valenti and Ferida were stars of the Fascist-endorsed ‘white telephone’ cinema. Drug addicts, with a tendency towards sexual promiscuity, their private lives were as wild as the villainous, depraved characters they portrayed.
