The Day of the Two Holy Popes
Movie 2015

The Day of the Two Holy Popes

"History is not just what you read in books, history often reveals itself with its extraordinary scope, already in the present. This is the case when on April 27 2014, the canonization of the greatest Popes of the 20th century was celebrated". With these words, the unmistakable voice of Giancarlo Giannini introduces us to an intimate and emotional story of what was, in all respects, a historical event: the Canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Monsignor Dario Edoardo Viganò, director of the Vatican Television Center, holds the reins of the narrative which, among historical and exclusive images, leads to a closer understanding of the two Holy Popes and Pope Francis, and to discover places in the Vatican never seen before. Alongside him are the authoritative opinions of Pupi Avati, Aldo Grasso and Gianni Canova and a moving and emotional Dario Fo. A Vatican Television Center and Sky 3D production.

Biography

Pupi (Giuseppe) Avati was born in Bologna in 1938. After attending school and studying Political Science at the University of Florence, he started working at a frozen food company. At the same time, he developed a passion for jazz, becoming a proficient clarinetist. In the second half of the 1950s, he formed and played in the Doctor Dixie Jazz Band, of which Lucio Dalla was also a member.[3] Although he initially intended to be a professional musician, Avati felt he lacked the necessary talent. In the mid-1960s, he decided to dedicate himself to cinema after seeing Federico Fellini's 8½ and its portrait of the role of a director.[4] Avati's passion for music, as well as his love for his hometown, which was the setting of many of his films, were to become recurrent themes found in his productions.
