- After 8 September 1943, Northern Italy is occupied by the Germans. The Italian army collapses and the soldiers escape to the mountains to set up a resistance. Many civilians do the same, and Johnny, an English literature student, is among them. Johnny avoids joining the red partisans (Communists) and tries to be part of the azure bands (former regular soldiers). In both cases he is deluded by the partisan bands and discovers that the partisan war is less poetic and genuine than he thought. At one point the partisans free Alba from Germans. When the city falls again into German hands Johnny escape with Ettore and Pierre, but, one after another, the German army and Italian Fascists capture the partisans and Johnny spends the winter alone and isolated. He then finds a way to participate in one last attack on the occupiers, and the war is over two months later.
- BACKWARD is a big, intense drama in which the many different life stories of a minor-league football team converge to create a collective plot. The 42 locations drift the audience from the enchanting Piedmont province (with its culture, its stones, its vineyards) to the skyscrapers of Los Angeles. The main characters are Martha, a young Italian-American manager (who inherited the football team from the dead father), and Gianni a former worldwide famous goalkeeper now reduced to the sad role of a glory of the past: a good man ruined by the alcoholic vice. Along with Gianni and Martha the entire little universe of a small football team is acting: each boy is protagonist of a story, carrying in the movie his own load of ambitions, expectations, hopes and delusions. The story runs through the last three months of the soccer championship season and, during that time, every character must face some inner fears, some inner demons: Christian (the best player) will remain paralyzed on a wheel-chair, Loris (the boss, the coolest) will be imprisoned and spend some days in jail, Anna (who betrays her sweet husband Daniele for Luke, the bastard one) will understand that to escape from responsibilities doesn't remove them... Even Martha - pushed by the sense of guilty toward her dead father (she doesn't want to disappoint his last wills) - and Gianni - who loves alcohol more than his dignity but is desperately seeking a kind of redemption - will have to deal with the very dark and intimate part of their souls: they will discover that, in life, when we you lose something perhaps you're winning something else. A simple, strong, honest movie painted with dark and bright lights that reflect the struggled souls of the characters: from the calm Italian hills to the chaotic skyscrapers of Los Angeles. It's not a sport movie or a soccer story: it's a drama about many young lives, in which the green football field remains just on the background. It's not an intellectual movie or a difficult, complex story: it's a simple, emotional and honest picture made with a high cinematography level. An intense and ambitious Italian work that wants to compete with the international standards.

- 2009– 45mTV EpisodeIn New York City, where little food is grown or produced, an army of people collectively work 24 hours a day to get the approximately 24 million meals (3 meals a day for 8 million people) to the table. Most people are dependent upon what happens in the middle of the night at among: the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center and the New Fulton Fish Market where decisions about produce, seafood and other perishable food items are made for the upcoming day; Amy's Breads where 500 kilograms of dough are prepared into several kinds of bread products; and Financier Patisserie, where the bread is made into sandwiches and where other pastries are made. Some people are on the road, such as artisan farmers who are bringing their foods to market, or cargo ships bringing in imported foods such as bananas. By daybreak, commuters are either preparing their breakfasts or buying food from retail vendors just opening. Many others, such as restaurateurs, are buying food for the entire days needs. By noon, the lunch rush hits, but many others are searching out or "rescuing" free food - still edible but not salable - for charity purposes. By mid-afternoon, restaurateurs are in their kitchens in preparation for the dinner crowd. Some wholesalers, especially of extremely perishable wares such as white truffles, are making the rounds of restaurants. Diners are beginning to relax as the supper hour hits. By midnight, the process starts all over again.
