Welcome mr president
Plot
Giuseppe Garibaldi is a modest librarian in a small town in Lombardy. He loves to read and transmit culture to children, despite the library's lack of funds. Meanwhile, in Rome the prime minister is forced to resign, and the leader of the center-right party has to find a solution: a puppet president who can get the necessary votes to prevail in the government. Giuseppe is chosen as chairman of the board, and immediately notices the cruel world of Italian politics. Giuseppe, friend of the people, begins to do many good works, earning the popular support. Meanwhile, the leader of the center-right party wants to defeat him.
Giuseppe, however, makes a poignant speech to parliament, putting all the politicians and the Italian public itself to ridicule. A few days later, Giuseppe is joined by ambassadors in his small country: the Vatican wants him elected Pope!
