One of the most beloved Italian actors worldwide is Roberto Benigni. The artist, who became known thanks to the award-winning La vida es bella, returns to cinemas in Peru with Pinocchio, the live action version of the classic character that can be seen from January 20.
Since that jump he gave at the 1997 Oscar awards ceremony for his victory in the best actor and best foreign film categories, viewers have followed his work, which is why his role as Geppetto in this live action is one of the most expected.

Due to the pandemic and the closure of movie theaters, Matteo Garrone’s film, which premiered at the 70th Berlin Film Festival, arrives in our country this 2022, but the criticism in its favor anticipates a strong story and with a single narrative level.
With this project, Robert Benigni returns to the big screen after ten years, after filming To Rome with Love, Woody Allen’s 2012 film. In Pinocchio he will be accompanied by Gigi Proietti, Rocco Papaleo, Massimo Ceccherini, Marine Vacht and Federico Lelapi.
