Mi Fratello è Figlio Unico / My Brother Is An Only Child (2007 Daniele Luchetti & co-scr)

Unsurprisingly - sharing the same writers Sandro Petraglia and Stefano Rulli - it comes across as a mini-Meglio Giuventu, setting a family saga within the mess of modern Italian politics, and charting the course of two brothers, Elio Germano and Riccardo Scamarcio, and how the former travels through Facism (egged on by substitute father Luca Zingaretti), communism, and finally honorable family man, in part down to love for Angela Finocchiaro.
