Miniseries
- I miserabili (Les miserables) – by Sandro Bolchi, for the centenary of the Victor Hugo’s novel, with Gastone Moschin (Jean Valjean), Tino Carraro (Javert) and Giulia Lazzarini (Fantine and Cosette ); it’s the longest (10 episodes) and most expensive (100 million liras) fiction realized by RAI till then.[2]
- Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca (The Johnny Storm’s little diary) – by Lina Wertmuller, with Rita Pavone (who, thanks her shortness and small body, plays convincingly the protagonist, a pre-adolescent boy), Ivo Garrani and Arnoldo Foà; in 8 episodes. The Vamba’s novel is adapted in the key of a musical comedy, with the catchy tunes of Nino Rota.[3]
- La cittadella (The citadel) by Anton Giulio Majano, from the Archibald Cronin’s novel, with Alberto Lupo, Anna Maria Guarnieri and Eleonora Rossi Drago; in 7 episodes. It’s perhaps the most beloved by public among the RAI black and white serials and makes a star of Alberto Lupo, till then a mid-level actor.[4]
