Il Caso Mattei plot
"On October 27, 1962, a plane crashed in Bascape, Italy, sparking an international intrigue...sabotage...disappearances and murders! These events are all the more bizarre because they are TRUE. The central figure was Enrico Mattei."
Biographical film about industrialist Enrico Mattei. After the war, he gave Italian industry a major and much-needed positive injection. The problem, however, was that he created a large monopoly and assumed that all government influence could be circumvented through bribes. When he tries to make Italy a major force in the petroleum world, major problems arise.

I also like those Francesco Rosi films (although they are almost never perfect), and at the same time I can imagine that a lot of people probably can't do anything with them.
Because it is actually a very specific genre. Usually typical 1970s Italian political problems and situations. The old left vs right also comes to the fore in this story about how to survive as a State-owned company in the world of (American) multinationals that in fact determine the entire world.
In addition, as is often the case, a criminal layer comes into play with, in this case, no mafia, but secret services and shadowy parties that make such popular men a head smaller.
Finally, Volonté is great as usual.
