Director and actor Marco D'Amore (born and best known for his role as Ciro Di Marzio in the television series Gomorrah – The Series) chose Naples as the filming location for his latest film, " Caracas ," based on the novel "Napoli Ferrovia" by Ermanno Rea . The phenomenal cast includes such personalities as protagonist Toni Servillo , D'Amore himself, and Lina Camélia Lumbroso.
The plot of the movie
The film " Caracas " by Marco D'Amore and starring Toni Servillo, based on the novel " Napoli Ferrovia " by Ermanno Rea, tells the story of Giordano Fonte , a Neapolitan writer who returns to a Naples that fascinates but also terrifies him, shrouded in darkness. He is accompanied by Caracas , a man active in the far right who is about to convert to Islam , searching for the truth about existence.
Giordano and Caracas experience an impossible love with Yasmina , as they try to navigate a city that is swallowing people and that everyone is trying to save. The story unfolds in a context where everyone hopes not to get lost , trying to open their eyes after a nightmare and see a new beginning full of light after the darkness of the night. The film will be presented at the EFM of the Berlin Film Festival , where Vision Distribution will handle international sales.
Where the filming takes place
The filming will take place in various areas of the city , including the historic centre , offering the opportunity to showcase the beauty of the city through the eyes of cinema.
In particular, the director chose several locations in Naples, including Via Pisanelli, Via Armanni, Vico Purgatorio ad Arco, and the Vasto district. These areas represent some of the most evocative parts of the city, with their characteristic alleys and ancient architecture.
Through the filming of the movie, Neapolitans and tourists will be able to appreciate Naples in a new light , rediscovering the city and its wonders. Indeed, in this way, Marco D'Amore 's film also becomes an opportunity to promote Naples , bringing the city to the big screen and hopefully making it even more international.
The film set with consequent suspension of the cycle path
The set for Marco D'Amore's film "Caracas," starring Toni Servillo, will be set up inside the Hotel Excelsior , located on Via Nazario Sauro on Naples's seafront. However, for filming, giant floodlights will be installed on the street , which will result in the closure of the bike path along the seafront.
