The Wind Blows Round

It’s a charged shot that is repeated several times during the film, presumably to suggest the titleToni, as he is known, was born in Zurich, the son of a poor Italian woman who gave him to rough country folks to raise.
Fortunately, he is befriended by the sculptor Renato Marino Mazzacurati who notices his drawing ability and gets him started on oil paints. For a while Toni sleeps at his house and is fed by his kind mother . But like many subsequent arrangements, it proves temporary. Not surprisingly, he is kept at arms’ length by the fascist mayor, who is counting the pennies that the homeless man costs the city, while the local residents mostly view him as a harmless madman.
