I ragazzi dello Zecchino d’Oro

We are in the mid-60s, when a very young Mariele Ventre gave birth to the very first formation of the Piccolo Coro, originally composed of only eight children. In a few years the Piccolo Coro becomes a real school of choral singing. In its 56 years of history, there have been hundreds of small voices that have brought the music of Zecchino d’Oro and its repertoire around Italy and the world.

Directed by Ambrogio Lo Giudice, I ragazzi dello Zecchino d’Oro leans on a strong ensemble — Matilda De Angelis, Maya Sansa, Valentina Cervi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2019.
