"Now the new Italy has passed from the hands of Mussolini to the hands of God". These are the words of Piero Bonamico, protagonist of 87 years of the documentary "Il resoluto" by Giovanni Donfrancesco, commenting on the fate of Mussolini's treasure, the famous and nowhere to be found "Dongo gold". The documentary film will have its world premiere tomorrow at the Giornate degli Autori as part of the Venice Film Festival. Bonamico, recruited in the Decima Mas at the age of 14, tells the director Donfrancesco after 70 years of silence and claims to have personally participated in hiding the famous “Dongo's gold”, that is the treasure of Mussolini in the last days of the Duce's life. A new and unprecedented testimony that sheds new light on a historical fact that has always been debated. “They were 5 large suitcases, dark leather with straps, beautiful but heavy. I've never seen anything like it ”. Piero, in the documentary, says that while he was taking them to Lake Como “the suitcases were full of copies of the Corriere dei Piccoli”. They were brought to Mussolini's residence on April 22, 1945 and exchanged for five other identical suitcases containing the treasure. "Then on board an ambulance (the vehicle used by my boss) we reached Milan, where we met Prince Junio Valerio Borghese, supreme head of X Mas". “With two different means we headed towards the Archbishopric”. “Then we unloaded the 5 suitcases - Bonamico narrates in the documentary - and two individuals brought them right inside the Archbishopric. Then I haven't seen them again ”. “You must understand that it was 70 years ago - Piero specifies during the narration - and you know what? I have never told this story to anyone ”. The documentary “Il resoluto” is a co-production from Altara Films, Les films du poisson with Rai Cinema, Arte and the support of the Centro National du Cinema. Rai Cinema Channel media partner.
