Elio Pandolfi: dubber, singer, actor, histrion.

The voice of Elio Pandolfi, stock materials and unedited videos provided by him take the audience on a real voyage into a world that has never been seen in such detail and above all from the inside. Pandolfi made completely unedited narrow-gauge videos, in which we see the private and fun moments in the lives of many stars: including Marcello Mastroianni, Nino Manfredi, Silvana Pampanini, Lina Wertmuller, Bice Valori, Antonella Steni and Tino Buazzelli. True rarities that record a world where stardom was intense but accessible, and the artists lived in a sort of community, of which Elio is an important witness.

Even as a child Elio Pandolfi amused family and friends by starring in his own home-made shows. As soon as the war was over, Pandolfi began a career that plunged him into the Italian entertainment world, allowing him to work with Visconti and Fellini, bringing him into regular contact with Mastroianni, Manfredi, Paolo Panelli and Bice Valori, and leading to the formation of a regular duo with Antonella Steni. Pandolfi tells the story of these many partnerships with impressive detail, a touch of irony and above all the attention to detail of a true raconteur. His artistic career is in effect the history of 70 years of entertainment and the performing arts in Italy.
