The larger-than-life saga of Italy’s Agnelli family, the billionaires behind automaker Fiat, is set to be realistically reconstructed in a high-end international TV series that will recount the dynastic tale from a female point of view.
The still-untitled Agnelli skein was announced Saturday by director and producer Ginevra Elkann who is the granddaughter of late Fiat magnate Gianni Agnelli. Gianni Agnelli is being remembered in Italy this weekend on the centennial of his birth. Elkann made the announcement on Saturday speaking on Mediaset talk show “Verissimo.”
Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment Pictures, the expanding Fremantle-owned unit known for “The Young Pope,” “My Brilliant Friend” and “We Are Who We Are,” has teamed up with Elkann’s Asmara Film and Virginia Valsecchi’s Capri Entertainment on the Agnelli project.
The Agnelli TV series producers are recruiting a writing team comprising anglo-saxon scribes, according to a source close to the project.
