A docufilm dedicated to Angelo Vassallo, known as the “Sindaco Pescatore,” will have its national premiere in Rome on Tuesday 13 October 2026 at 15:30.
The screening of “Perché?” is scheduled for the Sala Giacomo Matteotti at the Chamber of Deputies. The project is promoted by the Fondazione Angelo Vassallo Sindaco Pescatore.
A life before the crime
The film was conceived by Dario and Massimo Vassallo and was filmed and edited by Giuseppe Falagario.
According to the reports describing the project, the documentary aims to begin with Vassallo’s life, his work as a fisherman and his experience as mayor, rather than focusing exclusively on his assassination.
The reported thematic pillars are the relationship with Pollica, environmental protection, civic participation and the idea of politics as public service.
Why a premiere in Parliament
The screening is presented as both a cinematic premiere and an institutional moment.
The reports connect the Chamber of Deputies event to memory, civic responsibility and the continuing demand for truth, framing Parliament as a setting for remembrance as well as for viewing the film.
What to check before 13 October
The available reports present the premiere as scheduled for 13 October 2026 at 15:30 in the Sala Giacomo Matteotti in Rome. They do not establish whether access will be open to the general public or will require accreditation.
Visitors interested in attending should therefore check the updated access rules, accreditation requirements and any reservation instructions issued by the organizers or the Chamber of Deputies before travelling.
