Marilù Prati and Renato Nicolini, with Mauro Maur's trumpet and Françoise de Clossey's piano, retrace the history of the Risorgimento in the mirror of Myth, directed from Ugo Gregoretti. Anita dies to 28, Goffredo Mameli to 21. The youth and passion of those years are contrasted - not without irony - with the cynicism of the present.

In Switzerland, on Mount Truth, Myth meets our Homeland, Italy, dismayed and distressed on the eve of its 150th birthday. Homeland and Myth are closely linked: the Homeland is one of the forms of the Myth, and it was the Myth of the Homeland to that gave birth to the Homeland. Between Hymns (Novaro, Verdi, E. to. Mario) and poems (Goffredo Mameli, Giovanni Berchet, Giovanni Prati, Giosuè Carducci, Aleardo Aleardi), recalling the stories of Mameli, Anita, Margaret Fuller, the Roman Republic; the ′48 from Reggio Calabria to Curtatone and Montanara to the Five Days of Milan, the myths of the Risorgimento are traversed: the Hero, the Poet, the fallen, Satan that is, Progress. With enthusiasm but not without irony, often with dual visions. The little cricket ("son piccin, cornuto e bruno") accompanies the war song in Prati, in Carducci the Woman splits into the "eternal regal feminine" of Queen Margherita and the nonchalant resourcefulness of Annie Vivanti.
