Eddie Malavarca, Maurizio Nichetti
Having recently earned his college degree, Lorenzo Primavera (Eddie Malavarca) leaves his home in Boston to travel to his family's ancestral homeland in Italy -- as was requested by his late grandfather. Upon arriving, Lorenzo is offered a short-term position as coach for an American-style football team by the team's manager, Giulio Fellini (Maurizio Nichetti). As the young American immerses himself in his new duties, he makes the acquaintance of Paola Angelini (Violante Placido) and the two begin a friendship that quickly blossoms into something more. In between spending time with Paola and working with the team, Lorenzo also begins investigating his own family's history and learns the reason for his grandfather's departure from Italy, as well as why his grandfather never returned to visit. As Lorenzo begins to forge an identity for himself in Italy -- not to mention strong romantic attachments to Paola -- he must eventually decide whether or not to return to the States.

Микеланджело Буонарроти (1475 — 1564), гений, чье имя стало символом эпохи Возрождения. Его жизнь была полна взлетов и падений, трагедий и любви. Он знал, что такое нищета, отчаяние, одиночество. И что такое — медные трубы всеобщего восхищения. Никчемный каменотес, как называл его родной отец, не понимавший одержимого стремления юного Микеланджело посвятить себя искусству, стал величайшим скульптором и живописцем (а еще — архитектором, поэтом и мыслителем). Давид, Пьета в соборе святого Петра в Ватикане, фрески Сикстинской капеллы… Разве можно представить нашу жизнь без этих удивительных и прекрасных произведений? Этот фильм переносит нас в Рим и Флоренцию конца XV — начала XVI веков и погружает в драматичнейший период истории Италии.
