Synopsis

In the village of Buti, on Monte Pisano, oral tradition preserves the memory of a type of popular theater known as Maggio, which died out around 1952, the year of the death of one of its last directors, Angiòlo Bernardini, who passed away at the age of 82. The director, with the help of the old prompter, handwritten notes on the scripts, and the actors of yesteryear, now elderly, attempts to stage this theater again, recited and sung in octosyllabic quatrains.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
