In a fragmented era like today’s, the program analyzes how the figure of Head of State may prove to be the glue of the nation. The parallelism is immediate: from the moral rigor of Sandro Pertini to the popularity of Sergio Mattarellaup to the suggestions of cinema with Grace by Paolo Sorrentino, a film that investigates the nuances of presidential power.

Augias reconstructs the path of a man who transformed theanti-fascism on an existential missionmanaging to speak to citizens with an irreverence and frankness that was unthinkable for the institutions at the time.
