A private matter: the new film of the Taviani brothers shot in Piedmont

Since September are underway in Piedmont the shots of "A private matter", the Taviani Brothers' new movie.

The film is based on the novel by Beppe Fenoglio. The novel was published posthumously in April 1963, two months after his death.

The story is set during the war of resistance in the Langhe. Revolves around three characters. The protagonist is the young partisan battle name Milton. Then there is Fulvia, a beautiful young girl living in Turin displaced for some time in Alba, of which Milton is in love. And Giorgio, friend and fellow partisan Milton and perhaps also his rival in love for Flavia.

Interest in film and TV for the work of Fenoglio is not new.

In 1966 a private matter became a film directed by Giorgio Trentin.

In 1977 Sandro Bolchi made a TV movie adapted from "The pay of the Sabbath."

In 1982 Alessandro Cane has made a televised reduction from A private matter, followed by Alberto Negrin in 1991.

In 2000 the director Guido Chiesa has made a film from "Johnny the Partisan".

Now it is the turn of two of the greatest Italian and international directors.

Filming is expected to affect the Piedmont and Lazio.

They began in September in the Cuneo area, in Upper Maira Valley, in particular the Colle Maurin on Borgata Chiappera in the municipality of Acceglio.

They are then transferred to Saluzzo. Here in recent days they were filmed several scenes that have affected the city's historic center (Via Volta, the Ascent to the Castle, the palace of the counts Della Chiesa).

Among the protagonists of the film Luca Marinelli (Milton), Valentina Billè (Fulvia) and Lorenzo Richelmy (Giorgio).

Lorenzo Marinelli is undoubtedly one of the new actors of Italian cinema most interesting.

First in the film Don't be bad by Claudio Caligari, then in They Call Me Jeeg Robot has made compelling interpretations, appreciated by the public and critics (Pasinetti Award at the Venice Film for the first, David di Donatello for the second).

The film is produced by Donatella Palermo, already producing Fuocoammare by Gianfranco Rosi.

There is much anticipation for this film.

After Caesar must die (Golden Bear in Berlin in 2012) and Wondrous Boccaccio last year, we hope for a new masterpiece.
