Three film sets in Ferrara. Among them, a film about Lucrezia Borgia

There are three film sets in Ferrara these days. In fact, shooting has started on 100 Preludes, the new film that tells the story and dreams of a young cellist, amid difficulties and the desire to shed the superfluous to pursue her goals. The production is by Revok Film, with Rai Cinema, with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture, and with the support of Emilia-Romagna Film Commission. Led by director Alessandra Pescetta, the crew shot in Centoversuri Street. Location chosen is Langelo Atelier, an art and collectibles store at No. 6. And it is precisely among paintings, sculptures, antique furniture and precious testimonies of the past that the protagonist becomes aware of her desire to focus her energies on her goals.

Between the Sala Estense, in Piazza del Municipio, the Torre dei Leoni and the scenic Sala dell’Arengo, the new scenes of Lu’ Duchessa d’Este are being filmed in these hours. Fama e infamie di Lucrezia Borgia, a Mardi Gras film that bears the signature of directors Marco Melluso and Diego Schiavo. The protagonist is Lucrezia Lante della Rovere.

In the case of both 100 Preludes and Lu’ Duchessa d’Este, the City is providing its logistical-organizational support and has authorized the filming with a specific resolution.

For about a week, a Japanese film crew is also present in Ferrara: director Ryo Taguchi, with two cameramen, are in fact producing an all-Ferrarese installment of the cycle of Japanese documentaries on UNESCO World Heritage. The broadcaster is TBS, Japan’s national broadcast channel. Sekai Isan, this is the title of the documentary, will be aired in 2023 and for the first time will dedicate an episode entirely to Ferrara and its territory. It is the images that do the talking, with an external narrator’s voice and high-quality images full of striking and exciting views and perspectives. The Roman company M&M Mediaservices is coordinating the work in the area on behalf of the Japanese media channel. The initiative is sponsored by the municipality, which has offered the operators its willingness to cooperate. On the other hand, the filming of Chinese documentaries for the state broadcaster CGTN (China Global Television Network) has been completed for now. Always at the center is the territorial UNESCO heritage. The crew will return to the city at the end of October.
