Description: A patriotic drama played by one of the most beloved actresses of early Italian cinema: Mary Cléo Tarlarini is Mary, a high society lady who devotes all her dedication to the Italian patriotic cause, overseeing a war hospital and supporting the refugees. Luciano dello Stelvio, a young officer, falls in love with her, but after torments and family misunderstandings, he will sublimate his feelings in the love for his Country and will depart for the war, praised by Mary and by her daughter Emma, who had initially suspected them of having an affair. On the basis of information reported by Vittorio Martinelli, the film was finished after the end of the war and it circulated very little, probably because its patriotic theme was stale by then. The video is a copy from the film print held by the Museum: 16mm, positive, acetate, 223 m., black and white, Italian intertitles, silent.
