His beloved will also be there Castiglioncello In the documentary film about the private life of Alberto Sordi entitled “Alberto Sordi secret”, taken from the book of the same name written by the actor’s cousin, the journalist and Rai presenter Igor Righetti who is also the director of the film. An indissoluble bond between the Livorno hamlet and the famous artist given the many stays spent by Sordi himself in his villa in Punta Righini which he purchased in 1962 calling it the “villa of wonderful holidays”. All without forgetting the beautiful seafront dedicated to him.
In the documentary we will see unpublished images of the actor with numerous family photographs and details about his private life of which little has always been known. There will be numerous documentary testimonies from friends and directors together with moments defined by Righetti himself as “filmic”.
Documentary on Alberto Sordi, from his private life to his most loved places: everything you need to know
The first take was held in the charming historic center of Narni, in the province of Terni, but there will also be Fabriano (Ancona) where there is the “real” villa where the “Marchese del grullo” was filmed, Castiglioncello (presumably the filming takes place right at Villa Righini) and in places loved by such as Rome and the Republic of San Marino.
In the docufilm it will be possible to listen to unpublished testimonies from friends and relatives of the actor including the director Pupi Avati, the announcer and TV presenter Rosanna Vaudetti, Totò’s niece Elena de Curtis, the king of the paparazzi Rino Barillari, the countess Patrizia de Blanck, Sabrina Sammarini. This part is linked to another where the narration becomes a film story with characters who actually lived, in which Alberto Sordi’s childhood and adolescence in the Twenties and Thirties is shown thanks to the interpretations of actors and actresses loved by the general public such as Enzo Salvi, Fioretta Mari, Emanuela Aureli, Maurizio Mattioli, Daniela Giordano, Dado Coletti and three children of different ages who impersonate the actor.
Moreover, it is known that the actor was very reserved, did not like ostentation and his private life was armored. With the public, to whom he was very attached and grateful – and with his collaborators – he only shared his professional life. A docufilm far from clichés, full of emotions, anecdotes and curiosities, proudly and deliberately independent, as it was made without any public contribution.
