He story is both tragic and peculiar. In Nespello, a small cluster of houses nestled in the mountains of Bergamo, at the end of December 1957, 12-year-old Giancarlo, who had been missing for several days, was found hanged from a tree not far from his home. The theory of suicide was quickly accepted. Gigi Brozzoni is a food and wine expert and one of the authors of a well-known guide to Italy’s best wines. Gigi was just eight years old at the time. He had always been haunted by Giancarlo’s death, believing that the small village of Nespello had rapidly emptied out because of the boy’s tragic end. As the parish priest noted in his diary during those days: “Was it truly murder? Or suicide?” Did the villagers feel the weight of some kind of collective guilt, or were they simply drawn away by the allure of city life? I follow Gigi as he delves into his investigation, and the making of this film becomes a form of therapy for him.
