"Lui era Trinità" (He was Trinity) is the documentary that tells the extraordinary life and career of Italo Zingarelli. An incredible figure. He was a boxer, founder of a winery but, above all, film producer of the cult movies "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity is STILL My Name". The film about Zingarelli arrives on Canale Dieci. Here's when it will air. 

The documentary "He was Trinity" traces the fundamental stages of Zingarelli's professional life.

The documentary "He was Trinity" will be broadcasted on Channel Ten. The screening is for Monday December 1 at 9:15 p.m. It will be broadcast in rerun on December 2 at 10:30 a.m. and on December 3 at 11:40 p.m.

It tells the life and career of Italo Zingarelli, mind and producer of two cult movies such as "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity is STILL My Name".

From him started that force that then gave the scene to Bud Spencer and Terence Hill for those two legendary chapters that became blockbusters in the seventies.

In love with cinema, visionary, innovator, Zingarelli leaves an indelible mark on the history of Italian cinema.

It is produced by Fish-eye Digital Video Creation in collaboration with Rai Documentary and directed by Dario Marani.

The documentary develops through an intense narrative that is intertwined with memories, testimonies, film clips and period materials.

His three lives – boxer and stuntman, hugely successful film producer, finally wine entrepreneur in the heart of Chianti – make up a unique mosaic in the Italian cultural scene.

The voices of the protagonists: Hill, Spencer, Argento and many others

Outlining the human and professional portrait of Zingarelli are his children, friends and people who collaborated with him.

Among the most significant contributions are those of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, the latter offer thanks from an unpublished interview in 2004. Testimonies come from Dario Argento, Giovanna Ralli, Barbara Alberti and other illustrious names in Italian cinema and critics.

In the stories, anecdotes and memories that emerge concerning Zingarelli, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill as well as the successful path of the Trinity series.

The intuition that changed Italian cinema

Italo Zingarelli was an unconventional producer. It was his intuition that led to the birth of the "western beans", an ironic response to Sergio Leone's famous "spaghetti westerns".

In the documentary, which will aired on Monday December 1 at 9:15 p.m. the journey through Zingarelli's life will also lead us to discover the settings of the films and many anecdotes related to characters loved by the public, such as Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. But it will also be possible to discover details relating to scenarios in which Zingarelli moved and connected to important directors such as Dario Argento.
