The Italian director Nanni Moretti crafts this fiercely earnest documentary with a frank simplicity that feels remarkably original.

The Hollywood Reporter

A minor addition to the work of a cult filmmaker.

The Baffler

Guzmán makes an appearance before Moretti's camera, but most of the screen time is dedicated to the refugees who escaped to Italy-the film is somehow the opposite of Desert One...

Anita Katz

San Francisco Examiner

In Moretti's deft hands, this seemingly small film delivers in multiple arenas: as a historical document, a condemnation of fascism, a journey of hope, and a universal call for compassion.

Rated: 3/4

One Room With A View

With the worldwide rise of the right wing in the 21st century, Santiago, Italia remains a timely reminder of oppression's human toll and the little resistances and allegiances that keep people alive.

Rated: 4/5

Santiago, Italy has a short running time, but everything that will last in its spectators minds cannot be measured by time. [Full review in Spanish]

This documentary chronicles the months following the 1973 coup d'état in Chile and the role played by the Italian embassy in welcoming political and non-political refugees. The Italian director Nanni Moretti tries to tell this story through interviews with the protagonists and archive images. A beautiful and interesting documentary on this beautiful story of hospitality.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Fiel admirador de Nanni Moretti nunca lo había visto en faceta de documentalista y creo que le salió muy bien. Esta historia, sobre el golpe de estado en Chile (1973) y el muy posible asesinato de Allende, se enfoca en los chilenos que lograron refugiarse en la embajada italiana y resulta del todo impactante. Mas aun cuando ahora se vive algo similar en Colombia, las torturas, las desapariciones, los falsos positivos, la represión. Buen documental para recordar que la historia latinoamericana poco ha cambiado en las últimas décadas.
