He was the best. He was everybody's favorite. He was the European champion. He was Italian. But Leone Jacovacci wound up being none of the above. Because he was a black Italian. An unsung yet extraordinary tale about a fight in the ring postponed for 90 years: a fight against racism.
Il pugile del duce was directed by Tony Saccucci.
Il pugile del duce runs for 1h 5min, and was released in 2017.
