A film about a Juve footballer and his addictions debuts at the Venice Film Festival  - 1

Niccolò Fagioli's story is turned into a film: "Fragile" or “Fragile” debuted at the Venice Film Festival.

Juve debuted at one of the most prestigious "stadiums" in the world of cinema, at the 81st edition of the Venice International Film Festival. He will do so with the latest original production of the “Juventus Creator Lab”: “Fragile“, the film that tells the story of Niccolò Fagioli's final season, suspended with disqualification due to his vice of betting on matches.

„Niccolo Fagioli's story is a universal story, a story of a boy who realizes his dream, who stumbles and who embarks on a journey to rise up and become a role model for all who experience moments of difficulty. The stakes, the disqualification, the media pole are the most prominent aspects of a story that deserves to be told in greater depth, without falling into easy sensationalism or superficial judgments”, Juventus also said.

Behind great champions are complex, sometimes difficult personalities - we read in the description - Sports genius is often accompanied by unexpected uncertainties that are difficult to accept and manage. Knowing and acknowledging these weaknesses becomes a gesture of maturity and growth that can be an inspiration to those who are experiencing or have experienced moments of difficulty in their lives. The documentary aims to narrate this journey and delve into the personality of a boy whose fragility becomes a value on which to build himself and his career."
