We already knew that the Naval Academy of Livorno was the place of education, education, professional and human growth of many young people. That it was the symbol of the Navy, at least on land, too. But you know, times change and communication becomes more and more important and it can happen that for the first time the Academy opens its doors to cameras.

In fact, the new fiction “is set in LivornoFamily Novel”By Francesca Archibugi. A title that wants to be a tribute to Natalia Ginzburg's autobiographical novel "Family Lexicon". 12 episodes, 6 episodes, the first two the 8 and the January 9, an exceptional cast: from Giancarlo Giannini to Vittoria Puccini, from the revelation Fotinì Peluso to Guido Caprino. And it is the latter who, in the role of Agostino Pagnotta, plays the role of naval officer, in the specific instructor of the Academy. "We have been very supported and helped by the Navy. Without them it would have been impossible to do this series, without their availability, generosity and desire to tell this reality " said Caprino himself at a press conference. It is through his interpretation, assisted by real soldiers like Comandante Ribuffo, and by actors who act in the role of sailors, that the formative aspect of the Academy is perceived both in the classroom and in navigation on the Amerigo Vespucci.

The director, Francesca Archibugi, and the captain of the vessel, Luca Anconelli, head of the UPICOM MM media office, also spoke of great collaboration: "We have carefully followed the production of the fiction also to affirm, where it was not there, the experience of the military. We intervened to make the military world realistic and we are flattered and happy because in Romanzo Famigliare comes the professionalism and commitment of the Navy. On the other hand the Academy is a magical place, a set of parallel worlds: that of young people who want to become Navy officers and who receive the right training here; that of boys who build their personal lives here and who shape their own being with the values ​​of the Armed Forces ”.

And while so many young people await the release of the new Competition Notice for the Academy, all that remains is to get involved in the stories, in the bonds, in the turbulent relationships between parents and children of “Family Novel".
