And certainly not just any movie, since it will be interpreted by actors such as Pierfrancesco Favino, in the role of Dr. Marco Carrera, the protagonist of the novel (click here to read our exclusive interview with the Roman actor, who has been running a training school in Oltrarno for a few years), Nanni Moretti, who also played Veronesi's protagonist in Caos Calmo, the other book with which he won the Strega Prize in 2006, and Kasia Smutniak.
