Nel Nostro Cielo un Rombo di Tuono

"Nel nostro cielo un rombo di tuono," by Riccardo Milani, is a documentary that tells the story of one of Italy's greatest champions, former striker Gigi Riva. He still holds the record for the number of goals, as many as 35, in the national team, and led his existence according to a moral rigor never seen before. Riva, who spent most of his football career with Cagliari, was always one with Sardinia, despite being born in Leggiuno, Lombardy. He who came from the north, from the shores of Lake Maggiore was able to become a symbol of a land not his own and give it footballing luster. That is why the island itself decided to give him honorary citizenship in 2005, and on that same day Cagliari retired the number 11 jersey, worn by Riva, to give it to the man who that simple number made him great. This film that portrays Gigi Riva sportingly, but also delves into his personal life.
