The Italian moped Paolo Conte. The man behind global hits like Via Con Me, Gli Impermeabili and Max. He has been writing songs for more than sixty years now. Since the 1970s, he has been interpreting them himself. With that sonorous voice, sitting behind a wing and mostly backed by an excellent orchestra. Conte then sings as he looks: a signored gentleman, original lawyer by profession, reversing or dreary about life

Through numerous concert fragments he gets Paolo Conte: Via Con Me (It's Wonderful) (100 min) in the hagiography.) also all room to sing. In between, talking about his songs and career, Conte is his own pensive self. And gives director Giorgio Verdelli all sorts of Italian trade brothers and coryphies such as Isabella Rossellini, Jane Birkin and Roberto Benignini the opportunity to dismiss all their personal memories of him and take a deep grip on the grab bag.

The documentary, which will be on display in more than forty-five cinemas, will take you over 50 years of famous songs and (international) concerts. There are beautiful fragments with Roberto Benigni, but also unreleased material, friendships, thoughts and reflections of Paolo Conte itself are addressed. Read more on Ciao tutti
