A television show on Palermo police chief Boris Giuliano, who was killed by the Mafia in 1979, will debut on prime time on State broadcaster Rai1 next Monday and Tuesday, May 23-24, to open a week dedicated to law and order in Italy, producers said Thursday at the film’s premiere in Rome, reports Ansa News
Late anti-Mafia hero Boris Giuliano “is a role model that we must continue to look up to”, said actor Adriano Giannini, who plays the role of Giuliano in the film directed by Ricky Tognazzi.
The film, ‘Boris Giuliano’, will focus on the policeman’s life and his innovative investigative methods in fighting the Mafia, as well as on his team.
The cast includes Nicole Grimaudo as Giuliano’s wife Maria.
Giuliano was shot in the back by leading Mafia boss Leoluca Bagarella in July 1979.
