Sky announces a new original series: Un amore (working title), which will star Micaela Ramazzotti and Stefano Accorsi. The series will be produced by Sky Studios and Cattleya, and is due out in 2023 exclusively on Sky and streaming only on NOW.
First take for Un amore (working title). The series will run through a sentimental story that resists time and distance and will be told in two distinct timelines. To give voice and body to the story, two of the most beloved actors of Italian cinema and television: Stefano Accorsi (The Goddess of Luck, Veloce come il vento, The Last Kiss, 1992-1993-1994) and Micaela Ramazzotti ( La pazza gioia, The most beautiful years, The tenderness). Both winners of the David di Donatello, the two performers will be Alessandro and Anna, protagonists of the six-episode Sky Original series created by Enrico Audenino and directed by Francesco Lagi (Il Pataffio, Summertime, Quasi Natale). Filming will take place until December in Bologna and its surroundings, after a stopover of a few weeks in Spain.

MANIPULATE
The story will revolve around Alessandro and Anna, just over 18, whom they meet by chance during an Interrail trip to Spain. It’s a hot summer in the late 90s and the two immediately fall in love. Their lives, however, are far more complicated than the fate that united them and soon the two are forced to part ways. Over the years, they remain linked by an intense correspondence relationship, without ever finding the courage to see each other. However, twenty years after their first meeting and now adults, they find themselves in Bologna. Their feelings, never exhausted in time, will have to come up against the interference of a more complex reality than the one they had created only through words.
The words of Sky leaders
Nils Hartmann, Sky Studios Executive Vice President for Italy and Germany, commented: “Un Amore is a statement of intent, a title capable of perfectly defining the genre to belong to. A series that further diversifies, giving new colors to Sky Studios’ increasingly multifaceted list of Italian productions, bound together by a highly cinematic narrative and scenic quality. Today we are also announcing a great cast led by two great performers of rare sensitivity, Stefano Accorsi and Micaela Ramazzotti, for an engaging and thrilling story about a love that never was, and for that reason it never ends”.
MANIPULATE
Riccardo Tozzi, Founder and President of Cattleya, said: “Love is a story of relationships and feelings that unite people over time. A time that is not linear in the series. Indeed, it is precisely by the interlacing of the shots that emerges the strength of the story and the absolute originality of this series. And that’s the main reason why, when Stefano Accorsi came to tell us about the idea, we immediately decided to work on it. We are very happy to have succeeded in bringing together – for the first time – two extraordinary talents such as Stefano Accorsi and Micaela Ramazzotti, who will help give this wonderful story a very strong identity and intensity”.
