Directed By Carlo Carlei
Sergio Castellitto stars in this compelling religious biography of Francesco Forgione (1887-1968), better known to Catholic believers as the modern day saint Padre Pio. Directed by Carlo Carlei, this made-for-TV film dramatizes the Capuchin friar’s intense devotion, which manifested itself in the appearance of the stigata - the wounds suffered by Christ at Calvary - for over fifty years. Based on the book by Renzo Allegri, the award-winning Padre Pio Deals with seeming religious miracles in a skeptical modern age and features Jürgen Prochnow and Adolfo Lastretti in supporting roles.
