Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Riina died in prison in 2017 while this was in production; the production had to navigate active grief and fury in Corleone itself.
Claudio Gioè spent months studying Riina's actual voice recordings — the flat, almost sleepy delivery was deliberate, copied from wiretaps of the real 'U Curtu'.
