In Don Camillo's Little World, where the Cold War is fought on the very doorstep of life, the hot-headed Catholic priest and the equally pugnacious Communist mayor, Peppone, confront one another in riotous and often hilarious manner.
But when Don Camillo unburdens himself in the village church a voice from the cross above the high altar responds and his conversations with Il Cristo begin. We watch and listen, as with fascinating insights and gentle humour the prejudices of the stubborn priest are undermined, a resolution to conflict emerges, and the situation is transformed to the benefit of the community.
It is then that we see that the ideas and values of Don Camillo's Little World are true for all times, the world over...
'Guareschi's was one of the most prescient and perceptive voices of the twentieth century.'--Tobias Jones, author of 'The Dark Heart of Italy'
