HISTORY
This is the story of the biggest jet-
set love scandal of all times, starring
Roberto Rossellini, Ingrid Bergman,
Anna Magnani and the primitive natu-
re of the Aeolian Islands. The islands
are at the same time the set for the
movie “Vulcano” with Anna Magnani,
who has just been abandoned by DI-
RECTOR(S) Roberto Rossellini, and for
the movie “Stromboli, Terra di Dio”
that will lead to the artistic and love
relationship between Ingrid Bergman
and Rossellini. “The War of the Volca-
noes” is a story of wrath, suffering and
love and at the same time the story of
Stromboli a God-forgotten land, that,
for the time of the filming, becomes
the center of the world.

BERGMAN & MAGNANI – THE WAR OF VOLCANOES
Nearly 1.5 million Italian immi-
grants joined the US army and
fought in WWII, contributing
to the liberation of the Italian
peninsula from South to North.
70 years, later, four of the sur-
vivors will tell their story: the
story of the “Fighting Paisanos”,
as the American war reporter
Ernie Pyle nicknamed them.
