Description

What was he doing in Milan when he was 16? What did he say to Laurel & Hardy the only time that he met them? What did he really do during the war? Why did he made only a movie with Totò? How was Nando Moriconi to die? Why did Fellini cut his cameo from Rome? What was behind Nanni Moretti’s cry in Ecce bombo? What character should he played in the film about Gladio? And most importantly, why is he one of our greatest film authors? To these questions it tries to answer the book Alberto Sordi,a biography in stages that is also the reconsideration of a genius, with his lies and his truths. A volume largely based on the actor’s personal archive, full of unpublished documents and never-before-seen images.
