A Grandson Explores His American Grandfather's Experience Fighting with the Italian Partisans in World War II
A short documentary film by John M. Mastriano
Production is currently underway on a powerful new documentary that brings to life a little-known chapter of World War II through the eyes of a grandson uncovering his grandfather’s past. The film delves into the harrowing experience of Marco Boscardin, who fought alongside Italian partisans in northern Italy. Through a rich blend of family archival footage, photographs, artifacts, historical newspaper articles, and voice over narration the story sheds light on the personal sacrifices made and the pivotal role the partisans played in the Allied mission. As part of the journey, the filmmaker revisits the very locations of partisan battles and sabotage missions, tracing the footsteps of resistance fighters to connect past and present in vivid, emotional detail.
