The Assassination of Matteotti (Italian: Il delitto Matteotti) is a 1973 Italian historical drama film directed by Florestano Vancini. The film tells the events that led to the tragic end of Giacomo Matteotti and to the establishment of the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini in Italy. It was awarded with the Special Jury Prize at the 8th Moscow International Film Festival.

Synopsis

Le député socialiste (Parti socialiste unitaire) Giacomo Matteotti condamne vivement le déroulement des élections législatives d'avril 1924 en Italie, qui permet aux fascistes, conduits par Benito Mussolini, d'occuper les deux tiers des sièges parlementaires. Matteotti milite, avec détermination, en faveur de l'annulation de ce scrutin qu'il estime truqué et préconise la tenue de nouvelles élections. Mais, en juin de la même année, il est enlevé et assassiné par des squadristi fascistes... Le "Duce" Mussolini a sans doute couvert l'opération, même si sa participation (directe ou indirecte) n'a jamais été formellement établie...
