Leone arrived to the States from Southern Italy on a
boat, a story common to many. Once in New York, he worked on construction sites
of skyscrapers and buildings, filling his days with effort and music. Called to
arms by his country he goes back home, leaving the life that he built for
himself in the States, lovers and friends, to fight the war - and save many
lives.
The life of Leone contains so many stories:
the stories of all those who left home but never forgot their origins, and who
spread courage and love in the world before going back
home.
Leone is a symbol of courage and
strength, an unstoppable force guided by just one need: to go back
home.
LEONE is a true story of an Italian man
who migrated to the US to seek fortune, freedom and jazz. From the stage of his
last concert in New York City before going back home, through the sound of his
trumpet Leone tells us about his past and future, a tale made of jazz, memories
and time leaps. An emotional trip by superstar artist Carmine Di Giandomenico
(The Flash, Daredevil: Battlin' Jack Murdock) and the talented Francesco
Colafella.
Immigration seen from the eyes of
who's leaving home, a common theme to men and women all over the
world.
