Giuseppe Lega · Il Ronzio del Mondo

A life devoted to beekeeping. Through the voice and memory of Giuseppe Lega, the documentary traces more than half a century of Italian beekeeping: first-hand testimony, archive footage and filming in the places of his story, from the workshop to the surrounding land. It follows a sector that grew from craft into an organised, innovative industry facing international markets: the story of a man, a company and a life entirely dedicated to bees. The first episode of The Great Italian, premiered at Cinema Europa in Faenza on 28 September 2026.
