Wildside Begins Shooting The Miracle

Shooting has started in Rome for The Miracle (Il Miracolo), created by the best-selling Italian author Niccolò Ammaniti.

A Sky original, the eight-episode series will be executive produced by Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli for Wildside, in co-production with ARTE and Kwaï. FremantleMedia International will distribute the drama globally.

Ammaniti will serve as showrunner, co-writing the screenplay with Francesca Manieri, Francesca Marciano and Stefano Bises, and co-directing with Francesco Munzi and Lucio Pellegrini.

The Miracle follows as a plastic statuette of a Madonna that sheds tears of blood is found during a raid in a mafia boss’s hideout. There are no answers to the mystery, but the power of the enigma brings madness to everyone who comes into contact with it, changing the direction of their lives forever.
