History(1986)

History is an Italian drama series following Ida Raimundo, a half-Jewish woman, and her two sons Antonio and Giuseppe as they navigate life in Rome during and after the Second World War. Set against the backdrop of fascism and Nazi occupation, the series explores how a fractured family endures separation, loss, and the search for survival in one of Europe's darkest periods. Ida's precarious position and her sons' diverging paths create tension as each character grapples with impossible choices and shifting loyalties. The narrative captures both the intimate struggles of ordinary people and the broader historical forces that tore Italian society apart. History examines resilience, identity, and the long shadow that war casts on those left behind.
