Tonight, Tuesday 6 August 2024, at 9:25 pm on Rai 1, Volare – La grande storia di Domenico Modugno, an Italian television miniseries directed by Riccardo Milani, will be broadcast in rerun. The fiction tells the story of the Apulian singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno, played by Giuseppe Fiorello. But let’s see all the information in detail together.
Plot
Through a series of flashbacks, the now successful singer Domenico Modugno recounts the beginnings of his career to the audience of one of his concerts in Versilia. Since he was young, Mimmo, as everyone calls him, has dreamed of becoming an actor, but in his hometown, Polignano a Mare, he has no hope of success. He then borrows 60,000 lire from his cousin and moves to Rome to attend the film school and try his hand at acting. In his second year, he meets Franca Gandolfi, with whom he ends up falling in love, and some friends who accompany him even outside the academy. During an appearance for a war film, Domenico happens to pass by a screening room, where Vittorio De Sica is watching some scenes from his film Miracolo a Milano. Having dreamed of meeting him since he was a child, Modugno waits for him at the exit but doesn’t have time to stop him and the director gets in his car and drives away. However, he manages to find out his address and goes to knock on his door, to try to convince him to give him a part in one of his films. De Sica directs him to a friend of his who might have some work for him, but instead of in the cinema, Domenico ends up working in radio.
