Communication genius or ruthless manipulator? Victim or perpetrator? Today Netflix released the trailer of Paparazzi King, the 5-episode docuseries - that will be available only on Netflix from January 9 - that spans across the Berlusconi era, the rise of social media, and the contradictions of the Italian justice system, offering an unfiltered narrative that is not intended as a biography of the paparazzi king but rather as a portrait of a country that, from the 1990s to the present day, has blurred the line between reality and reality TV.

The son of Vittorio Corona, a visionary journalist who shaped Italian publishing in the 1980s, Fabrizio grew up obsessed with proving himself worthy of his legacy. While the father was pushed to the margins by the system, the son chose to devour that same system from within, turning gossip into a weapon of power and identifying money as the sole measure of affection and success. Where Vittorio sought truth, Fabrizio found business and, alongside Lele Mora, built an empire based on the sale of other people's lives.

Until the Vallettopoli investigation: the charge of extortion turned the golden boy into a public enemy, while simultaneously marking the definitive birth of his persona and revealing a man capable of turning his own existence into a desperately vibrant spectacle - a life populated by surreal characters and tragicomic situations, where reality and fiction most often blur. Thus began a media and judicial war, fought through front-page headlines and incendiary statements destined to polarize and divide Italian public opinion

Among the 20 interviews and contributions, the docuseries stars Marianna Aprile, Mauro Coruzzi aka Platinette, Lele Mora, Nina Mori , Marysthell Polanco, Francesca Persi, Marco Travaglio, Costantino Vitagliano.

Paparazzi King is a Bloom Media House production, directed by Massimo Cappello, written by Marzia Maniscalco and Massimo Cappello, produced by Alessandro Casati, Marco Chiappa, Davide Molla, Nicola Quarta.

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR AND THE AUTHORS

Telling the story of Fabrizio Corona means embracing a complex narrative challenge: how do you portray Italy's most overexposed man, someone who has turned his own life into a permanent reality show? Our aim was neither to judge the persona nor to absolve the man, but to explore the borderlands: between good and evil, between reality and fiction.

We didn't want merely to document the facts, we wanted to reveal the flawed humanity of the anti-hero hidden behind the mask of the super-man. For this reason, we embraced the tones of tragicomedy: a register we felt was best suited to capture the reality of a life lived constantly beyond excess. We sought lightness not to diminish the events, but to invite the viewer to reflect with a smile. Because Fabrizio's desperate vitality, his ability to turn downfall into spectacle and pain into anecdote, always manages, even in the most dramatic moments, to transform tragedy into a human comedy.
