Giuseppe Tornatore's documentary on Brunello Cucinelli premieres

Oscar-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore has completed a documentary titled "Brunello, il visionario garbato" about Italian cashmere entrepreneur Brunello Cucinelli. The film, shot over two years with discontinuous filming, explores Cucinelli's childhood, ambitions, failures, and his concept of "humanistic capitalism." Tornatore was initially hesitant but found his entry point upon learning that Cucinelli frequented gambling tables in his youth, seeing his life as a strategic game. A key scene involves Cucinelli returning to his childhood home, purchased specifically for the film, where he experienced an emotional flashback. The documentary features an original score by Nicola Piovani, who aimed to capture the contrast between the epic and the everyday in Cucinelli's story. Cucinelli cooperated fully without interfering in the editing process. The film also delivers a message to young people about the non-linear path to success. The documentary was reported by Margherita Bordino for Artribune.
