“Raffa”, the trailer of the original documentary series directed by Daniele Luchetti – Corriere TV

Who is Raffaella Carrà? Who is behind the image of the most famous and popular Italian star abroad, behind the 60 million records sold, the television successes, the films and the international tours? Symbol of freedom, queen of television and LGBTQ+ icon: Raffaella Carrà is a myth that transcends all barriers, an artist unconditionally loved by the international public for over 50 years. But Raffaella is a secret to which no one has the key. Extremely jealous of her private life, she struggled to assert herself in a world of men who loved and suffered like everyone else and in which two souls coexisted, that of the diva Carrà and the more vulnerable of Raffaella Pelloni. The documentary traces her public and private life, starting with her childhood in Romagna, which was marked by her father’s abandonment, her “camouflaged flirtation” with Frank Sinatra, her great loves, her regrets about missing motherhood, crises and rebirths. Everything is told using her most famous images and those from her private archive, exclusively together with unpublished statements from those who really knew her. (“Raffa,” an original documentary in three one-hour episodes, is now available on Disney+. Produced by Fremantle, the documentary is directed by Daniele Luchetti and written by Cristiana Farina, starring Barbara Boncompagni, Carlo Altinier, Salvatore Coppolino and Salvo Guercio, and chronicles the extraordinary lives one of the world’s pop culture icons)
