Member of the instance is the neorealist film "Angelo", of 1950, directed by Francesco De Robertis, who, inspired by true events, is intended as a call for justice to the resolution of one of the most difficult problems that the war has involved. It is the issue of racial difference, he had already found a place, and in the same terms in the song "tammurriata nera", certainly affect the sensitivity popular. Ischia with its natural location and with the help of the "pharmacy Mirabella" and "Caffè" of the Signorine "Fiurinte" offers settings to the events narrated in the film, also being a victim of social upheaval, related the barbarian raids occurred in the past. The film tends to be positive, but the thorny topic makes a show is not suitable for young people (Bianchi, 1950) can be considered a seemingly conventional melodrama, but who knows how to address the issue of racism with an intensity and an originality able to avoid any loophole to bring out the problem in its entirety. The double soundtrack, made of Neapolitan music and American music and jazz blouses, emphasizes the incompatibility of two opposed universes, although both marked by exclusion. (Mereghetti, 2002).
