Sky Arte Series 'Gli Immortali' Explores Creative Geniuses Through Their Graves

Starting February 23, Sky Arte HD will air 'Gli Immortali ‒ Artisti per sempre', a series hosted by Giorgio Porrà that examines the lives and resting places of iconic creative figures. The show, based on a format by Andrea Bettinetti, Erica Cattaneo, and Michele Bongiorno, is produced by Good Day Films and directed by Andrea Bettinetti. Each episode pairs two figures buried in notable cemeteries. The first episode contrasts Fabrizio De André (buried at Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno in Genoa) with Charles Baudelaire (buried at Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris), highlighting their shared rebellion against bourgeois society. The second episode pairs Jim Morrison (buried at Père-Lachaise in Paris) with Gian Maria Volonté (buried at Cimitero Civico La Maddalena in Sardinia), focusing on their sudden deaths and enduring fan pilgrimages.
