AP Giannini - Bank to the Future with Valentina Signorelli & Cecilia Zoppelletto

The Italian Radio Hour

This week on The Italian Radio Hour: What do Hollywood, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Bank of America have in common?
Join me in conversation with the Directors of the new documentary "AP Giannini - Bank to the Future" Valentina Signorelli and Cecilia Zoppelletto as we explore the incredible true story of Amedeo Peter Giannini, the son of Italian immigrants in San Francisco who not only revolutionized the world of finance by lending money to low-income workers during the worst economic crisis of all times, but also without him, we would not have had the Marshall Plan, and the financial support to produce many of Hollywood productions such as Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid", Frank Capra's "It Happened One Night", and Walt Disney "Snow White".
This inspirational biopic features rediscovered archived material, exclusive interviews and iconic locations, tracing over a century of American history: from the Gold Rush to the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, living through the Great Depression and World War II.
