Created during the Luchino Visconti course at the Luca Ronconi School of Theatre, Uomini e no was conceived - explained the director Carmelo Rifici - “to give a group of young people the opportunity to take on a stage play based on the novel published by Elio Vittorini in 1945”. The piece tells the story of a group of partisans during the Nazi-fascist occupation of Milan.
