The 4-part series Stories of a Generation – with Pope Francis is a italian documentary diriged by Simona Ercolani

Pope Francis and other men and women all over the world aged 70+ — both famous and everyday people — share their life stories with young filmmakers.
Based on the pope’s 2018 book “Sharing the Wisdom of Time,” published by Loyola Press, the program showcases stories from people over 70 from all quarters of the globe, including the pontiff himself, as they impart their life experiences to youthful filmmakers. Each of its four hourlong episodes is devoted to a central theme: “Love,” “Dreams,” “Struggle” and “Work.”

'The stories are inspirational, the cinematography is stunning, and the glimpses we get into the pontiff’s humanity are more than enough to watch show when you have a free hour here and there.' - Joel Keller: Decider -

Valerio Vigliar is a com­poser, pianist, singer, sound de­signer and producer.

He has been practicing piano and voice since he was six years old. Attended the regular school system ending with a Classical Liceo diploma. He then studied ancient philosophy and linguistics at Rome University as well as Composition at the Rome Conservatory of Music from which, however, he was dismissed on the pretension of a necessary new class distribution. Following that, he went on studying privately with Maestro Emilio Rabaglino (himself a student of Vincenzo Scaramuzza), while pursuing his interest in sound engineering and recording.

Orchestration, counterpoint, melody and improvisation have always been his main passions.
