This despite the fact that in Italy just now, a man pre siding over a terrorist's case (which the judge is about to do) can get himself killed just for doing his job. The second (Michele Placido) is a factory worker, a militant trade unionist whose apparently congenital bad temper is not improved by the fact that his marriage has just been sundered. The third (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) is a teacher in a reformatory, a secular...
