The collection includes Oscar winners such as set designer Dante Ferretti and maestro Nino Rota, composer of celebrated music. We will see stagehands, seamstresses, carpenters, painters and sculptors at work, reigning masters among the warehouses and workshops of Cinecittà and artists who have dedicated their lives to designing the billboards of films, such as Silvano Campeggi, who flew to Los Angeles to depict legendary Marilyn Monroe. We will hear Giuliano Montaldo recount the genesis of ‘Sacco and Vanzetti’, among difficulties and incredible twists such as the meeting of Joan Baez and Ennio Morricone who in only a few hours recorded ‘Here’s to You’, the ballad that has become the manifesto of an entire generation.

We will have a chance to take a close look at the turbulent bond of friendship and esteem that connected Federico Fellini and Ennio Flaiano, or meet Piero Tosi, who dressed the greatest divas of all time, from Claudia Cardinale to Silvana Mangano. We will discover the legendary director of photography and director Carlo Di Palma through anecdotes, comments and reflections of the most prestigious figures of worldwide cinema.And we will be captivated by the sequence of testimonies collected by Giuseppe Tornatore in the exciting documentary on Goffredo Lombardo, the producer who with the production house Titanus completely redesigned the Italian cinema of the second half of the 20th century. We will be able to immerse ourselves in one of the most lucid analyses of the history of Italy through Francesco Rosi’s civil cinema, get to know Alida Valli, the mother of all actresses according to Giuseppe Bertolucci, or learn the surprising story of Panaria Film through the story of Francesco Alliata, one of the founders of the small Sicilian production house at the centre of the most famous postwar film scandal between Hollywood, Rome and the Aeolian Islands: the famous war of the volcanoes and its divine protagonists Roberto Rossellini, Anna Magnani and Ingrid Bergman. A roundup of portraits that are a hymn to the beauty, wealth, strength, the determination of cinema, of the men and women who made it and all those who loved and continue to love it.
