Leonora addio is a film of two stories: In the first, the wish of legendary Italian writer Luigi Pirandello had been that, after his death, his ashes be transported to Sicily, but during the Mussolini years his remains were interred in a Roman columbarium; with the war over, a delegate is dispatched to shuttle Pirandello's ashes to Sicily, though not without some complications. The second adapts Pirandello's final story, The Nail.
Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2022 Berlin Festival, Leonora addio is Paolo Taviani’s first solo feature and a farewell tribute to his late brother and life-long collaborator, Vittorio Taviani. The film, inspired as it is by the life and writing of the great Sicilian author Luigi Pirandello – whose work was adapted by the brothers in their 1984 film Kaos - is a poetic and sometimes playful musing on life, legacy, history, fate and death.
