Matteo Vignati

A meek middle-aged man takes on every conceivable temporary job in order to feel useful and keep his dignity—until something shakes his inexhaustible optimism.

Matteo Achilli, a nineteen-year-old from Rome, manages to fulfill every young person’s dream: creating an app and becoming rich. But the world of success quickly turns out to be a jungle, and fame presents the young man with a steep price to pay. Based on a true story.

A young wanderer with few ambitions he returns to his childhood places, the hills of Perugia, to sell a house left to him by his parents. The only goal: to raise the money needed to continue enjoying life. Stuck in this wonderful place he shares his stay with the elderly veterans of the hippy community to which his family belonged. Among these there is Shanghai with whom he establishes a relationship of great affection, and which will help him get out of a big trouble.

Don Matteo is a thoroughly ordinary Catholic priest with an extraordinary ability to read people and solve crimes. He’s a parish priest who never met an unjustly accused person he didn’t want to help.
