I have recently found out that a movie about Salvatore Todaro is in the making:

It will feature Pierfrancesco Favino as Todaro. During his career, Favino already starred in other WW2 films - as a sergeant of the "Pavia" Division in El Alamein (2002) and as a partisan leader in Miracle at St. Anna (2008). The Italian Navy will provide help in the making of the film, rumor has it that a 1:1 model of Comandante Cappellini, Todaro's submarine, is being built at the Arsenale of Taranto.
I am quite looking forward to seeing this movie, which is supposed to come out next year. Todaro's life and deeds are definitely movie material - if done properly this could be an excellent film on a theme (both the Italian participation in the battle of the Atlantic and Todaro's exploits) that is very little known to the wider public.
