55 Days is a television documentary designed for the general audience with attention to rigorous historical perspective, narrative originality, creative use of archives and unpublished testimonies.

The Moro affair was one of the most intense moments of crisis in our recent past. A story that is still alive in public opinion, as recently demonstrated by the controversies following Marco Bellocchio's series “Esterno Notte”. On the one hand, reason of state and ideologies, on the other the human drama of the protagonists and their deep feelings, were the pulsating engine of the story, in which the choices, sometimes painful, sometimes cynical, sometimes moving, have shaped the course of this tragic story. Today there is an urgency that cannot be postponed: many of the protagonists have in fact disappeared and there are few witnesses of the period who are still alive. It is a question of collecting a fundamental historical memory for understanding our country, which, otherwise, risks disappearing forever.
