Oscar-wining director Giuseppe Tornatore (“Cinema Paradiso”) is putting the finishing touches on a high-profile documentary about Brunello Cucinelli, the fashion designer known as Italy’s “King of Cashmere.”
RAI Cinema has announced that Tornatore’s under-the-radar doc — chronicling Cucinelli’s rise from being a farmer’s son to becoming creative director and executive chairman of a global luxury lifestyle brand with a market capitalization of more than $1.5 billion — has been set for release in Italian cinemas on Dec. 9 via its 01 Distribution arm.
