Bartolomeo and Vittorino (Pietro Desilva and Francesco Guzzo)

Character Analysis

Bartolomeo and Vittorino are prisoners at the concentration camp, and they help Guido survive his ordeal there, showing solidarity in their suffering. Vittorino warns Guido that he must keep working or else the Nazis will kill him. Bartolomeo also provides Guido with advice and even helps hide Joshua from the Nazis.

We don't know what happens to Bartolomeo. He's last seen hunkering down while the Nazis purge the camp of the evidence to their crimes, gathering prisoners for execution or the death marches to follow. Whether he's found by the Nazis or exits the camp with the other survivors is never revealed.

Unfortunately, we know Vittorino's fate. After being taken to Dr. Lessing, Vittorino is deemed unfit to work and is executed with the other sickly prisoners. That's what the Nazis did to you when you outlived your usefulness.
