'''''General della Rovere''''' ({{lang-it|'''Il generale della Rovere'''}}) is a 1959 [[Italian film]] directed by [[Roberto Rossellini]]. The film is based on a novel by [[Indro Montanelli]] which was in turn based on a true story.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
<br />
[[Genoa]], 1944, during the era of the [[Italian Social Republic]]. Petty thief Emanuele Bardone (played by [[Vittorio De Sica]]) is hired by the [[Third Reich]] to impersonate an [[Italian resistance movement|Italian resistance]] leader, General Della Rovere, and infiltrate a group of resistance prisoners in a [[Milan]] prison. Gradually, Bardone loses himself in his role and not merely pretends to be a hero of the resistance but actually becomes one, first encouraging his fellow prisoners to show courage and eventually accepting death by firing squad rather than betraying another imprisoned resistance leader.<br />

==Cultural influences==<br />
The transformation of Emmanuele Bardone, the film's protagonist, from an Axis collaborator into a hero of the anti-[[national socialist]] resistance, has been compared by Spanish political commentators to the life story of [[Adolfo Suárez]], the Spanish prime minister who oversaw the [[Spanish transition to democracy|transition to democracy]] in the late 1970s. In particular, [[Javier Cercas]] devotes the last chapter of ''[[The Anatomy of a Moment]]''<ref>{{cite book|last1=Cercas|first1=Javier|title=The Anatomy of a Moment: Thirty-five Minutes in History and Imagination|date=2011|publisher=Bloomsbury|location=New York|isbn=978-1-60819-491-9|pages=310–314|edition=1st U.S.}}</ref> to exploring the parallels between Bardone and Suarez.<br />
