DESCRIPTION
“To Each His Own” (suum cuique) is a latin maxim from the L’Osservatore Romano vignette. The letters, cut out from this magazine, were used in a death threatening anonymous letter to a pharmacist in a small Sicilian town. There are only three L’Osservatore Romano subscribers in the area, and the next day the pharmacist dies on a hunt. The situation gives no peace of mind to a left-wing teacher who is undertaking a private investigation. Elio Petri’s screenplay, for which he was awarded in Cannes (1967), was based on the motifs of Leonard Sciascia’s famous novel. Petri was one of the first Italian directors to show the close links between politics, the Church and mafia.
