  • ROME, ITALY - 21 DECEMBER 2020: The storyboard of the film "Pinocchio" (2019) is seen here in the office of Italian director Matteo Garrone, here at the Studios, a film studio in Rome, Italy, on December 21st 2020. <br />
<br />
"Pinocchio " was a passion project for Garrone, who drew the first storyboard of the story at the age of six. For this project, Matteo Garrone -  who directed the widely acclaimed “Gomorrah" (2008) and Dogman (2018) among others - and his cowriter Massimo Ceccherini went back to the original  1883 children tale "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi, which is much more complex and darker than the 1940 Disney fable.  In Garrone's version, Pinocchio is played with a woodified face by child actor Federico Ielapi, and his father-creator Geppetto is played by the Oscar-winner Roberto Benigni. The film was first released in Italy in December 2019.   The English version of the movie will be released in the United States and Canada on December 25th 2020.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 30 JULY 2018: Roberto Saviano (center), an Italian journalist, writer and essayist is seen here with his police escort by the Vele di Scampia (English: Sails of Scampia), a large urban housing project and one of the poorest and most disadvantaged in the country, here in Naples, Italy, on July 30th 2018.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Roberto Saviano’s bestselling book “Gomorrah” — and subsequent film and TV series — the the Vele di Scampia are known worldwide as a hotbed for drugs, prostitution and the mafia. In 2016 the city council announced an ambitious €58 million plan to tear down three of the decaying buildings and convert the fourth into offices.<br />
<br />
After the first death threats of 2006 by the Casalese clan , a cartel of the Camorra, which he denounced in his exposé and in the piazza of Casal di Principe during a demonstration in defense of legality, Roberto Saviano was put under a strict security protocol. Since 2006 Roberto Saviano has lived under police protection.<br />
<br />
Saviano's latest novel "The Piranhas", which tells the story of the rise of  a paranza (or Children's gang) and it leader Nicolas, will be released in the United States on September 4th 2018.

<br />
Thanks to Roberto Saviano’s bestselling book “Gomorrah” — and subsequent film and TV series — the the Vele di Scampia are known worldwide as a hotbed for drugs, prostitution and the mafia. In 2016 the city council announced an ambitious €58 million plan to tear down three of the decaying buildings and convert the fourth into offices.<br />
<br />
After the first death threats of 2006 by the Casalese clan , a cartel of the Camorra, which he denounced in his exposé and in the piazza of Casal di Principe during a demonstration in defense of legality, Roberto Saviano was put under a strict security protocol. Since 2006 Roberto Saviano has lived under police protection.<br />

  • ROME, ITALY - 21 DECEMBER 2020: Italian director Matteo Garrone (52) - cowriter and director of the live-action film "Pinnocchio" (2019) - poses for a portrait at the Studios, a film studio in Rome, Italy, on December 21st 2020. <br />
<br />
"Pinocchio " was a passion project for Garrone, who drew the first storyboard of the story at the age of six. For this project, Matteo Garrone -  who directed the widely acclaimed “Gomorrah" (2008) and Dogman (2018) among others - and his cowriter Massimo Ceccherini went back to the original  1883 children tale "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi, which is much more complex and darker than the 1940 Disney fable.  In Garrone's version, Pinocchio is played with a woodified face by child actor Federico Ielapi, and his father-creator Geppetto is played by the Oscar-winner Roberto Benigni. The film was first released in Italy in December 2019.   The English version of the movie will be released in the United States and Canada on December 25th 2020.
