T A O R M I N A F I L M F E S T
Brunello, il visionario garbato
Ancient Theatre, Friday 12th June 2026 @ 9:00pm
The true story of the Italian farmer’s son – Brunello Cucinelli – who changed the meaning of luxury
Tornatore […] tell the majority of the narrative through highly romantic dramatic recreations of scenes from Cucinelli’s life. Oprah and other famous friends popped up to offer commentary, but to the uninitiated that would be the only indication that they were watching a doc rather than an unlikely drama where a farmer’s son becomes a menswear icon and leading advocate of ethical, human-centred business practices, complete with a speaking slot at the G20.
