It is 1943, and the Nazis control large parts of Italy. Colonel Anselm Bernhardt devotes his attention to stealing Italian art – and having his way with Italian women – but there is one great treasure that he covets even more.
In present day, his grandson swears to make amends for Bernhardt’s crimes, but is bitten by the same temptation and averts his focus on reparation to search for the mysterious, historically vital treasure in southern Italy… a secret that can change the course of history.
Based on historical events, The Secret of Altamura takes you back to the cloud of terror that hung over wartime Italy, and invites you to explore the secrets and treasures that were hidden from the Nazi invaders.
