LUISA SPAGNOLI BIOPIC
QUEEN OF FASHION
Now this one was shot back in 2016 but the reason I am mentioning it for you now is that it started streaming on PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel as
of yesterday, June 17th for the viewers around the world so you now have a chance to see period set costume movie LUISA SPANGOLI: QUEEN OF FASHION from director Lodovico Gasparini.
 |
| The biopic is streaming on PBS from June 17th |
Set in the early 1920's, this is a true story of Luisa Spagnoli who was
an Italian businesswoman, famous for creating a women's fashion store
and the chocolate brand. It traces the history of the Italian
entrepreneur famous for the creation of the Bacio Perugina and the
fashion house that bears her name. Perugia, early twentieth century. The
young Luisa Spagnoli (Luisa Ranieri),
a girl of humble origins,
but moved by a great practical sense, decides to acquire a small pastry
shop on the verge of failure in an attempt to escape from the simple
destiny of a housewife and guarantee a better future for the three
children and her husband Annibale (Vinicio Marchioni). Despite
the hard work, however, the business shows no signs of taking off, also
thanks to the negative opinion of the society of the time that does not
look favorably on a woman placed at the head of a company. But Luisa
does not give up and, armed with courage and determination, comes up
with an idea capable of reviving the fortunes of her company: proposing
an alliance to the well-known Buitoni (Matteo Martari)
industrialists. From that
agreement a different company will be born,
totally renewed in the way of producing, selling, advertising and
consuming sweets: the Perugina. His talent in designing culminates in
the creation of the famous Baci, which in a short time obtain
extraordinary success becoming the flagship product of the
business.
When the company finally established itself by exporting its products to
New York and the rest of the world, Luisa threw herself into another
venture: to create a clothing brand that adapts to the needs of modern
women!

An inspiring and strong woman! Again, we don't have pbs.
ReplyDeleteIt is a channel on Amazon Prime, so if you have that you can use PBS too.
DeleteI didn't watch it when it was in MHz, but I'll watch it now. Thank you for reminding us.
ReplyDeleteBe welcome, I hear those who watched it really liked it, I, sadly, cannot find it on torrents, so I won't be able to watch it.
DeleteI wonder why it's so hard to get. A friend had to buy the DVD in Amazon
DeleteNobody torrents the lesser known shows, Sin Limites for example also hasn't appeared on Torrents even though it premiered last week. And PBS programmes are always very late in appearing around the net as the youth does not watch them, only us metuzelahs LOL
DeleteWill have to see if it’s on my prime or if it’s one I have to key for. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteYou have to pay a fee there for PBS, methinks.
DeleteHave to pay for*
ReplyDeletePay it, sistah!
DeleteCan’t afford it with all this damn inflation. My sales are way down right now. Nobody can afford shit these days :(
DeleteWe will all die from hunger LOL
DeleteIt has been really terrible here, everything went up 100 to 200%, yea, I wrote it right. We pay double for many things, such is the inflation and we are afraid we won't have gas in the winter and electricity. The dictator says we won't have food either, but how is that effing possible when I live in the breadbasket of the country? We produce sugar for the whole country,beside oil and bread, and yet there is no sugar in our shops, oil is double the price and bread is now over a euro! God help us all.
And here we have Pelosi bragging about her freezer full of gourmet ice cream and politicians telling us to shell out for electric vehicles. They are so out of touch, it’s mind boggling. It’s insane how you can produce foods and not have access to them. Wtf is really going on here? God help us all, indeed.
DeleteYou should defo shell out for a Tesla, deary, in about ten to twenty years nobody will drive gas cars anymore.
DeleteOur dictator likes to hide food from us in order to sell them on a higher price later on. He is as ebil as your Pelosi.
Most people can’t afford to pay out over $50k for a new vehicle, let alone another $20k when the battery dies. It’s hard enough to put food on the table for most families, unless you’re getting government handouts. For middle class like us, we don’t get any assistance but get taxed to death to pay for those who do. We don’t have that kind of money for EV. If they drastically reduce in price in 10 to 20 years, it might be an option, but right now only the rich here can afford a Tesla.
DeleteI forgot you Americans drive only expensive cars. Our average here is driving cars from 2-3,000 to 10,000 euros. And most producers are switching to electric. Fiat has just closed their factory here for two years in order to transform it into an electric car manufacturing one. I think the laws in Europe will be changed to cater for the switch to el. cars in the near future.
DeleteNew cars here start around $10k to $15k. You can hardly get a good used car for $5k these days. I wish we could get something reliable for that inexpensive. Europe is definitely doing something right making the switch and making it affordable for all consumers, not just the rich. USA is very greedy though, so sadly I don’t think we will see everyone having electric vehicles here in my lifetime
DeleteI personally think you will as the whole world will stop using petrol and oil in our lifetimes, some countries already have plans set for it to happen in a decade or two at most. And that, a goodbye to oil, and people switching to meat substitutes and quitting farming, will change the world economy and probably society too not to mention pollution.
DeleteI need to watch this. I have to send it to my grandfather too. He loves to see movies about his homeland.
ReplyDeleteYou can find it on PBS channel on Amazon Prime.
DeleteReading through the comments, I'm realizing how different prices are in each state! We recently bought a new car and struggled to find one under $30,000. Many NYers will buy a new car in Florida and drive the 20 hours to NY to get a decent price. Now I know if we ever do this, to go to Theresa's state!
ReplyDeleteIt would probably be cheaper for you to import a car from Europe LOL But we do not usually drive massive cars like you. We don't need them big and we cannot pay for so much gas, so we buy smaller cars, Asian cars are popular here and French too. If I drove a car, I'd probably drive Ford Ka or Peugeot or something.
