Free. Registration required*.
The documentary-film Brunello: the Gracious Visionary charts the life of Brunello Cucinelli, the humanist entrepreneur who brought together the worlds of work and philosophy.
Blending documentary and fiction, the film revisits the places and pivotal moments that shaped Cucinelli’s life journey: from his rural childhood to the hamlet of Solomeo, later transformed into a symbol of humanistic capitalism. Testimonies, archival footage and personal recollections portray a man who, from humble beginnings, built a globally renowned company while remaining steadfast in his values of dignity, beauty and social justice. The story ends with the awareness that dreams — when nurtured with courage — are the true force that guides one’s destiny.
