Marco Bellocchio Produces, Directs TV Series ‘Portobello’ That Marks First Project From Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli’s Our Films (EXCLUSIVE)
Marco Bellocchio is back behind camera shooting TV Series 'Portobello' that marks the first project from Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli's Our Films.
After being sentenced to ten years in prison and spending some time behind bars, plus enduring a lengthy trial, Tortora’s conviction was eventually fully overturned by Italy’s Supreme Court in 1987 amid widespread belief that the TV host had been the victim of corrupt judges and prosecutors. The “Portobello” cast comprises frequent Bellocchio collaborator Fabrizio Gifuni, as Enzo Tortora, plus Lino Musella, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Barbora Bobulova, Alessandro Preziosi and Fausto Russo Alesi. Gifuni previously starred as former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in Bellocchio’s limited TV series “Exterior Night” about the 1978 kidnapping and assassination of the country’s leader by Red Brigades terrorists.
