Sky Arte airs documentary 'Maledetto Modigliani' on May 30
On Thursday, May 30, Sky Arte will showcase a documentary titled 'Maledetto Modigliani,' directed by Valeria Parisi and produced by D Produzioni alongside Nexo Digital. This film explores the life of Amedeo Modigliani, the Italian painter who died in poverty on January 24, 1920, at the Hôpital de la Charité in Paris. It particularly highlights his last partner, French artist Jeanne Hébuterne, who tragically took her own life just two days after Modigliani's passing. The narrative follows his journey from Livorno's Venezia Nuova to Florence, Venice, and ultimately Paris in 1906 at age 21. The documentary also connects with figures like Brancusi and Picasso, featuring commentary from experts including Marc Restellini and Chloe Aridjis. The script is by Arianna Marelli, inspired by Didi Gnocchi's concept.
