Pietro Mennea - La freccia del sud

Shortly before the 200-meter race that would crown him Olympic champion at the 1980 Moscow Games, Pietro Mennea reflects on his career up to that point: his beginnings with AVIS Barletta, his first national competitions, the tough training sessions in Formia, the triumphs and defeats, the 200-meter world record, and his love for Manuela.
