Censorship

When ''I Delfini'' was first released in Italy in 1960 the Committee for the Theatrical Review of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities rated the film suitable for people 16 years and older. In order for the film to be screened publicly, the Committee recommended the removal of the scene in which Alberto and Fedora are kissing each other in bed because the kiss was considered excessively lustful. The reason for the age restriction, cited in the official documents, is that the subject and the scenes of the movie are considered inappropriate to the sensitivity of a minor. The official document number is: 32912, it was signed on 20 September 1960 by Minister Renzo Helfer
