Roberto Capucci deserved this cinematographic portrait that describes him as one of the greatest couturiers of our time and above all as an artist and a true "silk sculptor". Ottavio Rosati's film joins those who in recent years have been dedicated to Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Versace and Lagerfeld. I was moved by the fact that the realization of the DVD that will bring the film directed by Ottavio Rosati around the world (and not only in the gay high culture) is thanks to Jean Vigo Italia and above all by the Istituto Luce Cinecittà. A century ago the Istituto Luce was born by the will of Benito Mussolini.
Would he ever have imagined the Duce that one day his film institute would honor a genius, a lover of Caravaggio and Michelangelo, a pacifist and defender not of the power of the Italian nation but of nature and beauty?
