Braibanti was convicted after a complaint from his partner’s father, who later forced his son to be treated with electroconvulsive therapy in an ill-conceived attempt to rid him of his homosexuality. The Fascist-era law that punished Braibanti, which made it a crime to lead innocent or unwary people “morally” astray, was repealed in 1981.

Amelio’s new film, titled “Il signore delle formiche,” which translates as “The Ants Man,” features an A-list Italian cast comprising Luigi Lo Cascio , Sara Serraiocco and, winner of a Cannes best actor prize for Daniele Luchetti’s “Our Life” in 2010 and more recently of Italy’s 2021 David di Donatello Award for Giorgio Diritti’s “Hidden Away.” Shooting will wrap in Rome on July 12.

“We are very proud to be supporting the vision of a maestro such as Gianni Amelio in shedding light on a dark occurrence that is so significant for Italian history and society and also very timely given the country’s current situation,” Gattoni said.
