Leonardo Maddalena

Four stories about football.

Claudia is a girl like many other 20-years-olds, torn between past and future loves, but she has a peculiarity. When feelings overwhelm her, when she get excited or angry, she turns into a creature with white wings, tusks and feline paws. Her story is about abuse and protection, about growing up, about change: but most of all, it is about finding the courage to show others who we really are, and about being ready to take this risk.

A biopic of Franco Basaglia, the Italian psychiatrist.

The life of Italian journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci.

An experimental drama entirely composed by monologues. A personal journey through male homosexuality - from darkness to light, from total denial to complete acceptance - as told in monologues performed by actors and adapted from interviews with ordinary Italian gay men. A multicolored kaleidoscopic journey through a varied and multi-faceted aspect of the human experience that is rarely represented on the big screen

The world out there is halted by a pandemic, and during lockdown, an apartment in Rome becomes the same as one in Milan, Naples, Paris, and New York. Each one lives a story identical to all the others, yet unique and personal. Four young people under thirty have been sharing an apartment for some time and, stopped by the infection, find themselves facing shadows bigger than living there. The opportunity to make some easy money at the expense of their shady landlord will lead to a crescendo of tension and delirium. The young people's choices and actions will become increasingly ambiguous as the consequences upend their dreams and hopes, fears and loves, until the unexpected ending.

Three siblings find themselves in their childhood home. There is one thing the mother must say. These are the days before Christmas. There is also a girl, who finds herself living those days with them. It looks so familiar. There is an expectation and a forced closeness. A new fish for the aquarium and an engagement ring. Old school notebooks and a remote control that is no longer found. A ringing phone and an old story of Red Indian shamans. There are certain spirits in that house who are struggling to leave.

Don Matteo is a thoroughly ordinary Catholic priest with an extraordinary ability to read people and solve crimes. He’s a parish priest who never met an unjustly accused person he didn’t want to help.

In Rome, a Virgin Mary statue is found crying blood. Pondering on the implications of the existence of miracles, and eventually, the existence of God, the people involved in the enigma start losing their minds.

Detective by chance, out of anger and human curiosity, always poised between ironic indolence and blues yearning, in his search for the truth Carlo Monterossi will have to confront a couple of cultured and professional killers, two gypsies looking for revenge, collectors and smugglers of Nazi-fascist souvenirs, incredible personal exchanges, a woman who seems to have lived several times and a cruel past that returns and leaves indecipherable clues behind. A comedic twist based on Alessandro Robecchi's successful crime novels.

C'era una volta la città dei matti... is Italian television film of two episodes.
