PACK ONE BAG:
BEHIND DAVID MODIGLIANI’S
EPIC PODCAST

Featuring Stanley Tucci, Pack One Bag tells the epic true story of two Italian Jewish families fighting to survive fascism, love, and war. Go behind the scenes of the timely Tribeca-winning audio series with creator David Modigliani in an evening that's perfect for both fans of the series and newcomers alike. Presentation followed by a conversation moderated by Diana Barrett.

As a boy, documentarian David Modigliani was fascinated not by his grandfather Franco’s Nobel Prize, but by the love story that made it possible: his grandparents’ fairytale escape from Fascist Italy. Digging into their past as an adult, David uncovers a darker side to the story: personal letters from Mussolini to his family, Fascist spy documents, and the hidden history of a brother left behind. Through investigative reporting - and the artistry of Stanley Tucci - he brings this gripping saga to life across 10 episodes to confront a timeless question: “If a strongman takes over your country, how do you know when to flee?” 

Pack One Bag reached listeners in over 180 countries and won the Tribeca Jury Award, five Signal Awards, Europe’s Lovie Award, Spain’s Premios Ondas, and an IDA nomination for Best Audio Documentary. Listen for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or the show’s website.
