Salvo D'Acquisto(2003)

Salvo D'Acquisto is a World War II drama following a 22-year-old Carabinieri deputy brigadier who faces an impossible moral choice. When German forces round up 22 civilians and threaten execution in retaliation for sabotage, D'Acquisto makes a devastating decision: he falsely confesses to the act himself. His sacrifice spares the innocent lives but costs him his own—he is executed by firing squad on September 23, 1943. The series portrays a true story of extraordinary courage and the terrible price of conscience during occupation, exploring how one man's heroism emerged from the darkest hours of the war.
