Velia and Giacomo

Velia and Giacomo (Velia e Giacomo) is an Italian animated film set to release on August 7, 2026. The film centers on the real-life relationship between Giacomo Matteotti, the Italian socialist politician assassinated by fascists in 1924, and Velia Titta, drawing on their private correspondence to frame a story that moves between domestic intimacy and public political commitment. The narrative uses their letters to portray an Italy shaped by political violence, ideological struggle, and the consolidation of fascist power — a period of history not previously examined through this particular personal lens. No distributor or streaming platform has been announced at this time.
