(ANSA) – PESARO, 01 NOV – The book “We are here, we are alive. The unpublished diary of Alfredo Sarano and the family who escaped the Shoah”, written by the Pesaro-based journalist Roberto Mazzoli with a preface by the senator for life Liliana Segre, will become a film: will be shot in the province of Pesaro Urbino, where the events narrated in the volume took place, dedicated to the secretary of the Jewish community of Milan, Alfredo Sarano, who saved the lives of 14 thousand Milanese Jews, hiding the lists of names before fleeing with his family of seven people in Mombaroccio (Pesaro Urbino). The film will be made by the independent producer Arman Julian who in recent days, accompanied by the Pesaro co-producer Michele Mucciacito, met with the administrators of the territory: the president of the Province Giuseppe Paolini, the mayor and the deputy mayor of Pesaro Matteo Ricci and Daniele Wicker. Filming, between the Franciscan sanctuary of Beato Sante di Mombaroccio and in other locations in Pesarese and Anconetano, will begin in the spring of 2023. “An honor for the city and a great commercial for the whole territory” comment Ricci and Vimini, together Councilor for Growth Giuliana Ceccarelli. “This is an international production worth several million dollars,” explains Arman Julian, who will also be in Germany and Israel in the coming weeks. In Mombaroccio the Jews were protected by the Franciscan friars of the Sanctuary of the Beato Sante.
Crucial for their salvation was the gesture of the young German officer and Catholic devout Erich Eder, whose name from 2021 stands out in the Forest of the Righteous Gariwo, who did not deport anyone to the extermination camps as a vow to Blessed Sante for the salvation of all. (300 civilians were also hiding in the caves) in the bombing of 25 and 26 August 1944 ordered by the British Prime Minister Churchill who arrived in person in the area, in Montemaggiore al Metauro, to coordinate the breakthrough of the Gothic Line. The start of pre-production was also reported by the Hollywood Reporter. (HANDLE).
