:02:02
gave to the world
of culture and art.
:02:07
Rodolfo Guglielmi,
a son of this land... ''
:02:10
We are at Castellaneta,
in the province of Taranto,
:02:13
where Mister Semeraro,
:02:15
vice minister
of the cultural affairs,
:02:18
is commemorating the honorable
citizen Rodolfo Guglielmi,
:02:22
son of the late Giovanni
and Gabriella Barbi,
:02:24
born here on May 6, 1895,
:02:27
who died in America
on August 15, 1926.
:02:31
''...But his persistence,
:02:35
his energetic nature,
prevailed and captured
:02:40
the attention of those who
worked in the movie industry
:02:44
then starting to come to life.
:02:50
...his path was not spread
with roses,
:02:55
but there were thorns,
and many of them.
:02:59
The Latin actors were given
the most hateful roles:
:03:04
the hoodlum, the bad guy,
:03:07
the man to be eliminated. ''
:03:12
At Castellaneta, the community
consists of a few families,
:03:15
all related.
:03:17
A lot of the Guglielmi blood
flows among this crowd
:03:20
that counts dozens of
close and far relatives
:03:23
of the great late actor.
:03:25
Among them we can easily find
some legitimate resemblance
:03:28
with the fateful Rodolfo
who smothered with love
:03:31
the women of half the world.
:03:33
''And l'm now glad
to stress the opinion
:03:38
expressed on Valentino
during his trip to ltaly...''
:03:42
For 30 years,
:03:44
the young men of Castellaneta
have been waiting
:03:47
for the movie industry
to discover among them
:03:49
the heir of the great Deceased.
:03:51
Finally, tonight
the lights go on.
:03:54
The cameras start humming.
:03:56
Many anxious eyes
look into the lenses.
