Biography

After having directed more than a hundred video clips, for singers such as Piotta, Alex Britti, Mietta, Mariella Nava and Max Pezzali and after their first unfortunate experience behind the camera with Zora the Vampire, the Manetti Bros. direct a small-budget thriller film, set mostly in an elevator: Floor 17. Most of the cast of that film worked once again with the brothers on the TV series L'ispettore Coliandro, based on the stories by Carlo Lucarelli: the series is a success and has been renewed for seven seasons.
In the 2010s the brothers directed their two most celebrated films, both set in Naples: Song'e Napule, a comical tribute to the Italian Poliziotteschi of the 1970s showed at the 2013 Rome Film Festival, and Ammore e malavita, a musical comedy presented at the 2017 Venice Film Festival. Both movies received critical acclaim and the latter won the David di Donatello Award for Best Picture.
