<strong>TIBERIO</strong> <strong>MITRI</strong> - The Boxer and the Beauty Queen<br />
Synopsis<br />
“The Boxer and the Beauty Queen” tells the story of the passionate and turbulent love story<br />
between Tiberio Mitri, European middleweight boxing champion in the 1950s and the ravishing<br />
Fulvia Franco, winner of the Miss Italy contest in 1948.<br />
Tiberio and Fulvia are two stars, so handsome and beautiful that everyone loves them. They meet,<br />
fall in love and marry.<br />
Both driven by great ambition yet jealous of each other’s successes, they end up not being able to<br />
cope with harsh reality and - after having won international titles, known fame, experienced the<br />
“American dream”, gone on tour with a successful theatrical review and had their only child - they<br />
break up.<br />
But their passionate union was so strong that they were to meet up again.<br />
Their romantic and irrational love story has stuck in the memory of all Italians. And no one can<br />
forget Tiberio’s legendary fight with the “Bronx Bull” Jake La Motta: 15 furious rounds from<br />
which Tiberio came out the loser, but with great honour, in a match that lives on in the annals of<br />
boxing.
