It is not just the reconstruction of a tragic factwhat cost the life of an excellent servant of the state (and if you consider it a spoiler then you should really review the history of Italy of the last twenty years). It is also a small but incisive reflection on the aportias and contradictions that collide within our Republictoo often stored with hasty summary judgments.

Sonia Bergamasco and Claudio Santamaria in a scene of the film “Il Nibbio”.
Nicola Calipari, manager of Sismi known on the field with the nickname “Nibbio”immediately puts itself in action to encourage a negotiation that did not foresee armed irruptions, as Americans wanted to do.
Its line of action, although contrasted by colleagues who preferred the use of force, He manages to obtain the liberation of the journalist after 29 days. But nobody has dealt with a US check point. A story of self -sacrifice and sacrifice that the film reconstructs without unnecessary emphasis, but with a truly admirable tension (and a test of Santamaria).
For those who want to know what it means to “serve the state”.
