When young bookseller Elena Arbu\u00e9s finds Teseo Lombardo, an Italian combat diver who tries to sink Allied ships in Gibraltar, washed up on the beach, their lives are changed forever.<\/p>\n<p>The project is being headed by Arturo D\u00edaz, managing director and executive producer of Cattleya, and Ricardo Tozzi, founder and president of Cattleya. Screenwriter Beto Marini (<em>Sleep Tight<\/em>,<em> Retribution<\/em>, <em>Extinction<\/em>) will be in charge of the novel&#8217;s adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we read<em> El Italiano<\/em>, it was impossible not to imagine a television series,\u201d D\u00edaz said. \u201cArturo P\u00e9rez-Reverte transports us to a unique time and unique places, makes us fall in love with his characters and both surprises and thrills us in equal measure. We can feel the danger of being a combat diver, the tension of being a spy crossing a border and above all, the passion of two highly nuanced characters. We want to make <em>El Italiano<\/em> an ambitious international series, worthy of an author who represents Spain all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>El Italiano<\/em> is a gripping adventure, love and espionage story, set in an unconventional location, Gibraltar, a British territory that was affected by the Second World War because it was bordered by Spain, a neutral country,\u201d Tozzi added. \u201cIts characters are ordinary men and women who, conditioned by the times in which they lived, led extraordinary lives. It is also the story of soldiers (sailors in this case) who were torn apart by internal conflicts caused by the armistice declared between Italy and the Allied Forces on September 8, 1943. Our protagonist, after that crucial date, will choose to side with the Italian Army fighting alongside the Allied Forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>P\u00e9rez-Reverte said, \u201cIn those tragic, dangerous years of World War II, there were brave men and women that history left behind and has forgotten: people who did daring, seemingly impossible things that their adversaries were incapable of imagining. <em>El Italiano<\/em> is my attempt to recover and honor their memory. I\u2019m positive that this series from Cattleya, whose productions I have always admired for their quality, will be faithful to the story I wrote.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cattleya Producciones, part of ITV Studios, has acquired the audiovisual rights to Arturo P\u00e9rez-Reverte&#8217;s novel El Italiano, which it will adapt into a miniseries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4439],"class_list":["post-17181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cattleya-producciones","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cattleya Producciones to Adapt El Italiano for TV - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cattleya Producciones to Adapt El Italiano for TV - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Cattleya Producciones, part of ITV Studios, has acquired the audiovisual rights to Arturo P\u00e9rez-Reverte&#039;s novel El Italiano, which it will adapt into a miniseries.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-07-11T14:21:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-07-11T17:08:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/CattleyaProducciones-ElItaliano-0722.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/\",\"name\":\"Cattleya Producciones to Adapt El Italiano for TV - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-11T14:21:21+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-07-11T17:08:49+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/cattleya-producciones-to-adapt-el-italiano-for-tv\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Cattleya Producciones to Adapt El Italiano for TV\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
