Stanotte a...
« For over twenty years we have filmed at night in the most important museums in the world. It's the only possible time to film the empty halls or the precious artifacts out of the windows because there are no visitors. But at night the Museum changes face. Just you in front of the masterpieces in the silence. The Museum seems to show and offer you its treasures in an atmosphere of intimacy. I always wanted to transmit and give this atmosphere that I breathed to viewers. » (Alberto Angela)
Crime novel - The series
Love, business, anxieties, friendships, feuds, and resentments paint the picture of the main story, that of a group of criminals who for nearly fifteen years, from 1977 to 1992, cherished an illusion: that of conquering Rome. The Lebanese, Freddo, Dandi, Patrizia, and Commissioner Scialoja are some of the characters inspired by the true story of the Magliana gang. As stated by Aldo Grasso, the first season of the series gives more space to the crime scene, that is, the criminal exploits of the Magliana gang, while the second season delves deeper into the "behind the scenes" of the crime: thus, the gang's repositioning after a key plot event, and the effects and questions this has provoked in the protagonists' consciences.

I'm a little bit crazy... and you?
In the film, the disabled children, empathizing with their director, will try to solve the anxieties and fears of well-known characters who turn to them, looking for them in the most diverse places in the city. Professional actors will confess with irony and sincerity their tics and their manias hoping that these "psychiatric tutors" will be able to solve them thus facing problems and disorders that affect the daily life of each of us. The film wants to reveal with lightness, originality and with a surreal and tragicomic irony high psychological and social contents with the aim of staging a different way of seeing and facing the problems and difficulties, physical and mental, that we all try to overcome and improve in different ways.
