BANG BANG BABY
2018 · Director: Michele Alhaique
Production Designer: Tamara Marini
Amazon Prima / Wildside - Rome, Italy
A young woman in 1980s Italy discovers her father is a powerful mob boss, torn between glamour and the life she has always known. An Amazon Prime Video original series. Cast: Arianna Becheroni, Adriano Giannini, Antonio Gerardi.
✦ From the set: The series was shot during Covid, in full red zone lockdown. Rome was empty. A commute that normally took two hours took ten minutes. The price: continuous swabs, every single day.
The centrepiece set was Casa Nonna Lina — built across two locations: interiors on stage, exteriors in Rome. Every detail was reconstructed to recreate 1980s Italy with precision — wallpapers, floor tiles, furniture, objects, colours. A period that rewards obsessive attention to detail.
