Le quattro giornate di Napoli / The Four Days of Naples - Nanni Loy (1962) On Sept. 8, 1943, the day Badoglio surrendered to Eisenhower, the lid of a manhole lifted hesitantly in a Neapolitan alley and a draft dodger squinted at the unaccustomed sunlight. "La 'uerr' ê finood'!" the mob above him bellowed in delirium. The war was over for Sicily, si. But for Naples it was far from over. On Sept. 12, the Panzers rumbled into town as the Italian garrison stumbled off in all directions. Then flying squads of German soldiers burst into the Vomero, the city's principal slum, and gun-butted the male population into labor battalions. In a fury the Neapolitan canaglia, known for a thousand years as the scum of the earth, rose in heroic rebellion against allies they had always loathed. Out of manholes, cellars, caves and sewers crammed with smuggled guns and ammo they came storming, and in four historic days of blood and glory rang a tocsin that awoke the Underground from Naples to the Alps.
