Steno

Six secretaries (Cesarina Marchetti, Paola Quagliero, Liliana Avincola, Anna Maria Scafasci, Resi Bruletti and Fiammetta Profili) delve into the past to tell us what it was like to work in the world of Italian cinema when our films used to clean up at award ceremonies, from Venice to Los Angeles, via Cannes. The documentary is a revealing flash­back of their lives, both off and on-set, enriched by anecdotes, revelations, unpublished photographs and other curiosities related to some of the great classics.

A contemporary reinterpretation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron, Decameron: Songs and Stories by Riondino weaves together music, storytelling, and satire to explore timeless themes of love, desire, and human folly. Set against a vibrant and imaginative backdrop, the film blends poetic narratives with musical elements, offering a fresh and playful take on classic tales while reflecting on modern society.
