Directed by Nicolangelo Gelormini and released in Italy on 12 February 2026, La Gioia (which translates to “The Joy”) is…
Sometimes, the universe sends you little signs. And for me, one of those signs arrived in Piazza del Popolo, Rome,von 16th July 2024.
It was scorching. I’m talking melt-your-gelato-in-seconds, seek-shade-or-perish, Roman summer at its most glorious and most unforgiving. My son Diego and I were doing what any sensible people do in such heat – wandering through one of Rome’s…
