Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II (M. Cerrai, Comune di Pisa)Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II was the set for some scenes of the film Imbarcoa mezzanotte (Stranger on the Prowl) (1952) by Joseph Losey. The film is based on the short story La bouteille de lait by Noël Calef and was shot in the Pisorno studios, but also in the streets of Pisa and Livorno, that were still marked by the devastation of the war, which left destruction and poverty. The protagonist Paul Muni, a desperate man, is caught while stealing food and kills the shop owner before running away. While being chased by the police, he is joined by Giacomo, a boy who in turn is fleeing thinking he is being chased for stealing a bottle of milk.
