Interesting facts
The Hunchback of Rome is a 1960 Italian crime-drama film directed by Carlo Lizzani. It is loosely based on the real life events of Giuseppe Albano, an Italian partisan who was involved in the Roman Resistance against German occupation between 1943 and 1945.
Background
The film is inspired by the true story of Giuseppe Albano, known as the "hunchback of the Quarticciolo" and is set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the post-war period of the Roman villages, presented in a neorealist style by Carlo Lizzani.
Furthermore, the plot only partially tells the real story of Albano, drawing only a few (albeit relevant) ideas from it. Of note in this film is one of Pier Paolo Pasolini's first appearances on screen in the part of Leandro known as "er monco".
