Introduzione
The Maserati Chronicles (Upcoming)
Documentary on Maserati.
Three chapters, six protagonists.
Past and present intertwine to reveal Maserati’s turbulent journey of ambition, loss, and reinvention.
Derek Hill, after after living under the shadow of his father’s legendary racing history, reinvents himself as a successful stunt driver. His journey mirrors the Maserati brothers, who, after being kicked out of their own company, find vengeance by building a rival racing team to reclaim their legacy on the track.
In Modena, artisans in a restoration workshop bring a Maserati Bora back to life. Their craft echoes the story of Giulio Alfieri—a brilliant yet uncompromising engineer who built Maserati’s greatest achievements. His refusal to adapt, however, lead to his fall as Maserati collapsed under Citroën’s control and during difficult political years.
Finally, a modern designer, Frank Stephenson, grapples with the challenge of creating vehicles for the future. His relentless pursuit mirrors that of Alejandro De Tomaso, the romantic yet reckless entrepreneur whose ambitions transformed Maserati in the 1980s. Driven to push the brand into a new era, De Tomaso’s boldness led to both triumph and collapse as Maserati faced its darkest years.
