“Fabrizio Corona: Io Sono Notizia”, what should we expect
This is how Netflix describes the documentary on Fabrizio Corona: “Communication genius or unscrupulous manipulator? Victim or executioner? “Fabrizio Corona: I am news” is a docuseries that crosses the Berlusconi era, the advent of social media and the contradictions of Italian justice, with an unfiltered story that is not intended to be the biography of the “King of the Paparazzi”, but the fresco of a country that, from the 90s to today, has stopped distinguishing the difference between reality and reality”.
Son of Vittorio Corona, a visionary journalist who shaped the publishing industry of the 80s, Fabrizio grows up with the obsession of proving himself worthy. If the father is marginalized by the system, the son decides to eat up that same system from the inside, transforming gossip into a weapon of power and identifying money as the only yardstick of affection and success. Where Vittorio was looking for the truth, Fabrizio finds business and, alongside Lele Mora, Corona builds an empire based on the sale of other people’s lives.
Until the Vallettopoli investigation: the extortion accusation transforms the golden boy into a public enemy, but at the same time marks the definitive birth of his character, revealing a man capable of transforming his existence into a desperately vital spectacle, in a life dotted with surreal characters and tragicomic situations, in which reality and fiction more often than not get confused. Thus began a media and judicial war fought with headline shots and inflammatory statements intended to polarize and divide Italian public opinion.
“Fabrizio Corona: Io Sono Notizia”, is a Bloom Media House production, directed by Massimo Cappello, written by Marzia Maniscalco and Massimo Cappello, art director Davide Molla, produced by Alessandro Casati, Marco Chiappa, Nicola Quarta.
