EXCLUSIVE: Pack One Bag is a new podcast documentary series that tells the story of two Italians married on the run escaping Mussolini’s “Racial Laws,” and the story of the family they left behind, fighting to survive the Nazi occupation of Rome.
It comes from documentarian David Modigliani, who was behind HBO’s Running with Beto, who is the grandson of the pair, and Stanley Tucci who lends his voice to the story and exec produces.
The ten-part series comes from Lemonada Media, the company that recently struck a major podcast deal with Meghan Markle, as revealed by Deadline.
It premieres on June 5. Tucci is also developing a scripted television adaptation with Modigliani. Modigliani’s grandfather, Italian-born economist Franco Modigliani, won the Nobel Prize in 1985.
