Giulio Cesare: Compagni di scuola

The story of a great school is the school of a great country. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Liceo Giulio Cesare - Rome's historical institute - the journalist and director Antonello Sarno reconstructs the story with a documentary . Combining history, entertainment, news and information, the documentary tells the eighty years of the historic Lycee Giulio Cesare of Rome, the largest classical high school in Italy, through the testimonies of famous alumni, who spoke about their experience during the years spent in high school. Immediate and spontaneous memories from older alumni, up to the voices of the current school population, to reconstruct through a collective oral history, in which everyone tells their own, the extraordinary fresco of a great capital like Rome, and of an entire country , through their students. The testimonies cross naturally with those of the students who from the "Giulio" (this is the nickname of the school, historically as much as the institute itself) have just come out after the high school exams. Among the protagonists: the Zero Assoluto, Tommaso Zanello (aka "Piotta"), the director Paolo Genovese, the President of the David di Donatello Gianluigi Rondi and then Marco Pannella, Maurizio Costanzo, Giorgio Benvenuto, the former minister Franco Frattini, the Prof. Tullio De Mauro, Serena Dandini. And it could not miss the testimony of Antonello Venditti, who at Giulio, who attended from '62 to '67, was inspired by many famous songs and that in turn, with his music, inspired the title of the film.
