Juventus is set to make its debut at one of the most prestigious venues in the world of cinema, the 81st International Film Festival in Venice. The club will showcase its latest production from the Juventus Creator Lab, titled “Fragile,” a film that explores the recent season of Nicolò Fagioli, who faced a significant suspension due to gambling issues.
Marco Castellaneta, the media director of Juventus, explained that the film represents a unique production, marking the club’s commitment to innovation. He expressed hope that through Nicolò’s experience, the film can highlight the importance of support during challenging times.
In a statement released by Juventus, the club emphasized the broader significance of Fagioli’s story, which it describes as universal. It narrates the journey of a young man who fulfills his dream, encounters setbacks, and strives to become a role model for those going through tough times. The film aims to go beyond the more sensational aspects of Fagioli’s situation, such as the gambling, the suspension, and media scrutiny, shedding light on the complexities and pressures faced by athletes.
The club emphasizes that behind the great champions are often intricate personalities, sometimes grappling with unexpected insecurities that can be difficult to confront and manage. Recognizing and accepting these vulnerabilities is portrayed as an act of maturity and growth, providing inspiration for those who face challenges in their own lives.
“Fragile” intends to delve into Fagioli’s journey, portraying his fragility as something that can ultimately become a strength in building both his character and career.
