Each family always cherishes a precious legacy and keeps it away from tactless eyes. A legacy of memories, passion and emotions. The luckiest ones inherit the artistic chromosome from their grandparents or their parents. The project FIGLI DEL SET/CHILDREN OF THE SET stems from the afore mentioned ideas and from meeting so many men and women who have the gift of being artists since they were born: The documentary narrates the stories told in the first person by Manolo Bolognini, Renzo Rossellini, Ricky Tognazzi, Simona Izzo, Fabrizio Frizzi, George Hilton, Danny Quinn, Saverio Vallone, Alessandro Rossellini, Vera Gemma, Fabio Frizzi, Alex Partexano, Marina Baldi, Stefania Lerro, Alberto Dell’Acqua, Daniele Nannuzzi, Claudia Nannuzzi, Simone Bessi (Anna Mode), Pietro Tenoglio, Francesco Frigeri, Franco Corridoni, Desiree Corridoni, Maria Grazia Fantasia, Raffaella Fantasia, Margherita Spoletini, Giuditta Simi, Federica Tessari, Fabio Melelli, Carlotta Bolognini, Claudio Risi, Maria Teresa Corridoni, Claudio Pacifico.

Director’s statement
“Figli del Set is an important operation, first of all as it collects a memory risking extinction, thanks to which one could better understand a specific time (the second world war), often neglected by schools. The film represents a lesson for modern day cinema”.
