Terramatta: The Italian Twentieth Century of Vincenzo Rabito Sicilian illiterate (Italian: Terramatta: Il Novecento italiano di Vincenzo Rabito analfabeta siciliano) is a 2012 documentary directed by Costanza Quatriglio, based on the memoir Terra Matta by Vincenzo Rabito. Winner of several awards, including the Nastro d'Argento 2013, it was shown in all major Italian cities.

The film is centered around narration of excerpts from Vincenzo Rabito's memoir, Terra Matta. Rabito begins with his background in Sicily. He was born in 1899, and at a young age, he was pulled out of school to earn a wage for his family after the death of his father. As a teenager, he was drafted to fight in World War I. In some excerpts, he relates some of the atrocities he committed during the war, including assisting a friend in sexually torturing a young Italian woman. Following the war, Rabito worked in German mines until the beginning of World War II.
