  • Summary

  • The epic true story of an Italian Jewish family, split apart by love, fascism and war. Through shocking discoveries - and Stanley Tucci’s artistry - an enthralling personal history comes to life.

    When documentarian David Modigliani was a kid, his grandfather, Franco, won the Nobel Prize. But, David’s always been more fascinated by the love story that made it possible -- his grandparents' romance on the run from Fascist Italy. When he digs into their story, he uncovers a darker side to their fairytale escape: a brother left behind to face the Nazi occupation - and startling personal connections between his family and Benito Mussolini. In the Tribeca-winning podcast, PACK ONE BAG, he returns to Italy to investigate his family's past, carrying a pressing question: if Fascism takes over your country, do you stay, or do you try to flee? And what happens if you can’t? From Live Action Projects, Gilded Audio, and Lemonada Media.

    Introducing: Ghost of a Chance
    Jan 15 2025

    We’re thrilled to introduce you to Lemonada Media’s newest podcast from Lemonada and the Minnesota Star Tribune, Ghost of a Chance. When reporter Eric Roper buys a lovely 113-year-old house in Minneapolis, he becomes completely obsessed with finding out everything he can about its history. But one couple who owned the house 100 years ago hijack all his attention and send him down a surprising rabbit hole into a complicated history few people know.

    As he artfully and meticulously pieces together the remarkable story of their lives, we find out what Harry and Clementine Robinson reveal about the history of race in the Midwestern city that became ground zero for an unprecedented global racial reckoning.
