Various shots people arriving at building ("Palazzo de Citta" - city hall?), some of men wear trilby hats and trench coats - look like Mafiosi! Italian soldiers check peoples' passes. The man with a beard arrives, people crowd around him and shakes his hands, one person in crowd holds up sign: "Viva La Republica". The middle aged man arrives. Crowds cheer and mob car as first, bearded man leaves building and drives away. Various shots of other men posing for camera, look like dignitaries. Various street scenes.
Note: could the bearded man be Ivanoe Bonomi, ex-Premier of Italy who was chosen as head of provisional Italian government in 1944?
