Already today, 23 January 2026, one of the most intriguing Italian productions of the year will arrive on the Netflix platform – the film “The Forger” (orig. Il Falsario). This fact-based crime drama transports viewers to Rome in the 1970s. We learn about the story of Toni (played by Pietro Castellitto), a young artist with big dreams, who ends up in the midst of the criminal underworld instead of reaching the heights of the art world. Thanks to his talent, he becomes not only a brilliant forger of paintings but also a key player in the darkest political scandals of that era.
