CURVA MUNDIAL

Host Sal Bono's 90-year-old grandma Cecelia Maltempi joins CURVA MUNDIAL for the season 7 finale. Cecelia talks about her life growing up in Oliveri, Sicily, just outside Messina during the outbreak of World War 2 and being forced to live in a cave, getting shot by Nazis, and she and her family protesting Mussolini's fascist regime. She also discusses working along side Ingred Bergmen and Roberto Rossellini on "Stromboli" and the time Bergman wanted to bring her to Hollywood.
