Because of the fascist racial laws of the Thirties, the future Nobel Prize winner for Economics Franco Modigliani left Italy to land in the United States. It was the love for his future wife to show him the way, saving his life and allowing him to continue his career. Modigliani's story has been reconstructed and told in the podcast «One only suitcase», made by Franco's nephew, the American director David Modigliani. The series, successful all over the world, exceeding 500,000 plays and reaching over 180 countries, arrives in Italy thanks to Chora and the collaboration with ABI. An important opportunity to strengthen the bond between Modigliani and Italy and share its history with the new generations.
