The Lost Legacy of Tony Gaudio (2024)

In 1906, a young Italian sets out for the American Dream: Gaetano Tony Gaudio. In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, he soon strengthened his passion for cinematography, born years earlier in the family laboratory in Cosenza and which became a profession in Turin with Ambrosio Film, until moving to Hollywood as a pioneer. There, in 1937, he has been consecrated with an Academy Award®, the first in history for an Italian, that now is lost. 75 years later, an American detective goes on his trail, reconstructing the fascinating life of Tony Gaudio, in the hope of finding his Statuette®.
