Shooting has concluded on The Man Who Could Change the World, a film directed by Anne Paulicevich and set in 1938, during Adolf Hitler’s official visit to Italy. The project reconstructs one of the most important moments in the relations between the Nazi and Fascist regimes, choosing as its narrative perspective that of an intellectual called to confront power.
At the center of the story is Hitler’s trip to the country and his meeting with Benito Mussolini, which is also organized through an itinerary among Italy’s main artistic treasures. To impress the German guest, the head of the Italian government assigns the most influential archaeologist of the time to accompany the two dictators. The man, distant from the regime’s positions, finds himself forced to play the role of guide in a context charged with political and symbolic implications. The film focuses the narrative on four days, during which the beauty and power of art become the terrain of tensions, ambiguities and individual choices destined to produce consequences that continue to resonate in the present. The cast includes Elio Germano, Albrecht Schuch, Fausto Russo Alesi, Linda Caridi and Edoardo Pesce. The film is produced by Versus, IndigoFilm, PiperFilm and NiKo Film. Italian distribution will be handled by PiperFilm, while international sales are handled by PiperPlay.
