On 23 July 2023, the Rai docufiction dedicated to the entrepreneur from Ravenna has been screened at the Alighieri theater and at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Ravenna. The Alighieri evening began at 21 with the actors and authors of the docufilm on stage for a short presentation.

Fabrizio Bentivoglio plays Raul Gardini, the man capable of marking the world of business and sport. The actor told the story of the character in a backstage video available on Rai Play: “A thinker, he underlines it several times in the interviews he left us”.

The actor added, “After these big thinking sessions, he’s a man of action, he does. Once he decides what to do, he does it. And he has a sportsman’s temper “.

The actor is joined by Pilar Fogliati, in the cast also Sara D’Amario, Helene Nardini, Laura Cravedi, Gabriela Giovanardi, Sebastian Luque Herrera, Pierantonio Novara, Stefano Abbati and Michele Rosiello.

Fabrizio Bentivoglio then spoke about the structure of the docufiction: “He is an enlightened entrepreneur. The structure that our film has is that of having a documentary part and a filmed part. It allowed us to ensure that the documentary part dealt with Gardini, the public man, entrepreneur, and the filmed part dealt with Raul, the private man, the father of a family, an old-fashioned man, a man of the twentieth century”.

In a few days, the approximately 850 seats (free admission) of the Alighieri theater in Ravenna were sold out to watch of the docufilm, co-produced by Rai Fiction and Aurora TV.
