Voglio a Tte!
Live music by Stephen Horne
Director Roberti, father to Sergio Leone, teamed up with Italian diva Francesca Bertini to tell the story of Consuelita, a young woman who longs to escape the harsh conditions of her small fishing village. Filmed on the beautiful Amalfi Coast in the villages of Praiano and Conca de Marini (although the film identifies the location as Spain), this is Bertini’s last major role.
Source Information:
Voglio a Tte! was submitted to censors in 1922 but rejected, probably because it portrayed southern Italy as an impoverished place the protagonist wants to escape. It was reedited and resubmitted in 1925 and released under a new title, Consuelita. Fondazione Cineteca Italiana held the only copy in their archive in Milan and made a 4K restoration in 2022.
