Il terrorista, internationally released as The Terrorist, is a 1963 Italian war drama film directed by Gianfranco De Bosio. It is inspired to real life events of the Italian partisan Otello Pighin. The film entered the 24th Venice International Film Festival, in which it won the Pasinetti Award.

Synopsis

Venise, hiver 1943. La Résistance italienne prépare un attentat contre le siège de la Kommandantur allemande. Un homme - Renato Braschi, inspiré du personnage historique Otello Pighin - surnommé l'Ingénieur y joue un rôle déterminant... Bien que « l'explosion soit meurtrière, l'acte, en définitive, doit être considéré comme une réussite relative : une prostituée vénitienne y laisse la vie tandis que le commandant en réchappe ; et le lendemain, les autorités réagissent en menaçant de fusiller des otages. » (Freddy Buache in: Le cinéma italien 1945-1990, Éditions L'Âge d'Homme)

A recently promoted police inspector (Gian Maria Volonté) kills his mistress (Florinda Bolkan), and then covers up his involvement in the crime. He insinuates himself into the investigation, planting clues to steer his subordinate officers toward a series of other suspects, including the woman's gay husband and a student radical. He then exonerates the other suspects and leads the investigators toward him, in order to prove that he is "above suspicion" and can get away with anything, even while being investigated. In the end, he confesses to the crime in front of his superiors - who refuse to believe him. Sure that he is safe, he recants his confession, and receives the approval of the police commissioner.
