Pellegrino Riccardi's story

A short documentary. The Vigevani family from Parma managed to escape to Switzerland in 1943 thanks to the help of their friend Pellegrino Riccardi, magistrate in Fornovo di Taro, sharecropper Arnaldo Frigeri and nanny Tina Baldi, who for over a year kept the youngest son of the Vigevani family with her, pretending to be a single mother.
