M – Son of the Century, season 1 (10 January 2025)
It starts on January 10, 2025 with M – The son of the centurythe Sky Original series based on the novel of the same name by Antonio Scurati, directed by Joe Wright and starring Luca Marinelli. The series, says the synopsis, tells the political rise of Mussolini and his creature: fascism. First a movement, then a party that Mussolini led to the top of the Italian government to then subvert democracy and establish a dictatorship. Through a contemporary language – with Mussolini breaking the fourth wall and addressing us directly to reveal his most unspeakable thoughts and comment on the turning points of history – the series offers an original portrait, at times full of black humour, of the man who , despite having betrayed ideals, people and institutions, despite having been guilty of acts of unprecedented violence, he became the Duce.
In addition to Marinelli, the cast includes Francesco Russo who plays Cesare Rossi; Barbara Chichiarelli as Margherita Sarfatti; Benedetta Cimatti in Donna Rachele; Federico Majorana plays Amerigo Dumini; Lorenzo Zurzolo is Italo Balbo.
