'Raffa' is here, the first Disney + docu-series dedicated to Raffaella Carrà. The filmed work will trace the extraordinary life of one of the icons of pop culture around the world. Raffa, whose filming has started in these days, will unfold in three episodes of one hour each and will be available worldwide on Disney +. The docuserie, produced by Fremantle, will be directed by Daniele Luchetti and written by Cristiana Farina with Barbara Boncompagni.
Rafa
Who is Raffaella Carrà? Who is hiding behind the image of the most famous and beloved Italian star abroad, behind the 60 million records sold, television hits, films and international tours? Symbol of freedom and equality between the sexes in the 70s, queen of the Public TV in the 80s and LGBTQ + icon in the 90s. Raffaella is a myth that overcomes all cultural and generational barriers and that audiences from all over the world have loved for over 50 years. Yet, Raffaella is a mystery to which no one has the key. Reserved by nature and very jealous of her being deprived of her, Raffaella is a woman who has struggled to establish herself in a world of men, but also a woman whom she has loved and suffered. The docu-series will retrace the artist's public and private life, starting from childhood in Romagna marked by the abandonment of the father.
From the 'cover' flirtation with Frank Sinatra to his two great loves; and then the regret for a missed motherhood, many triumphs and some failures. “I am proud to be able to announce this new Italian production dedicated to an icon like Raffaella Carrà and it is a pleasure to be able to realize it thanks to the collaboration with Fremantle”. Like this Daniel Frigo, Country Manager, The Walt Disney Company Italy. “The Italian productions represent for Disney + a wealth and an opportunity to explore and bring the public even more exclusively to characters and stories that have been part of the culture of the country”.
