"The Leopard", the new series on Netflix: what you need to know

From March 5th comes the new transposition of the novel by Tomasi di Lampedusa, an important, historic and elegant event with hundreds of extras and scenes en plain are, very intense. Of course we had not forgotten Visconti's "The Leopard", but here we experience a similar language, where there is more space for private stories. Remember Concetta, the prince's daughter in love with Tancredi, she is different, more sunny, she has the courage to confess her love. And Angelica? She manages to make friends with her, two different girls who compare themselves on love and how much it can hurt. Saul Nanni who plays Alain Delon is a little more “awkward” than the other, but remains ambitious and ready to fascinate the new generation made up of an audience less accustomed to history, but who will certainly be fascinated by what he tells: “It is an ambitious series, confirms Tinny Andreatta of Netflix - “we wanted the splendor of this story and the beauty of the locations to be on par with the excellence used to make it”. Filmed between Palermo, Syracuse, Catania, Turin and Rome, it brings to life all the beauty of the aristocracy of those years. Present at the Hotel Plaza in Rome today for the press conference, all the protagonists, directors and screenwriters.

Like director Tom Shankland, who directed episodes 1-2-3 and 6, with Richard Warlow. Of course, for Kim Rossi Stuart, dealing with Burt Lancaster in the role of the prince must not have been easy: "In fact, he replies - "he was a man who made even the furniture shake when he walked. But it was a very interesting moment. Meanwhile, while I was reading the book, I realized that I had to do a triple somersault, even though I felt dragged by him". Benedetta Porcaroli (Concetta), adds: "compared to the novel, I am the only one who had to work on the imagination and on the cumbersome presence of this father for whom I have an unconditional love". What struck the beautiful Deva Cassel about Angelica? "Many things, she replies - "she is a girl who comes from a very humble past and tries to do everything to enter this world. I loved the role because it tells a timeless story”. Saul Nanni, Tancredi: “the famous phrase - if I want everything to stay the same, everything must change, is said by Tancredi himself. For me it was an honor to give a face to this character, so true”. The heart of the novel is also the sunset of an era. Told with great respect and, I emphasize, also with deep love. Certain not to make mistakes.
