Synopsis:

In 1948, a fan letter arrived for director Roberto Rossellini from Ingrid Bergman, one of Hollywood's biggest stars; after a meeting in New York, Rossellini invited Bergman to Italy to work on a project. Meanwhile, Anna Magnani, one of Italy's biggest stars and Rossellini's longtime lover, was furious. When the Rossellini/Bergman project was announced as a tale set on Stromboli, one of the volcanic Aeolian Islands, Magnani quickly set up her own Aeolian project, financed by Hollywood, to be called Volcano. Italy's tabloids simply went wild: the prospect of these two great divas battling it out with rival productions was breathlessly followed, especially as it became clear that the Rossellini/Bergman relationship was more than professional. Francesco Patierno has created an engrossing, revealing and highly entertaining chronicle of this cinematic battle royal.

The story of the biggest jet-set love scandal of all times. Starring Roberto Rossellini, Ingrid Bergman, Anna Magnani and the mythical and primitive nature of the Aeolian Islands. The islands are at the same time the set for the movie 'Vulcano' with Anna Magnani, who's just been abandoned by Rossellini, and for the movie 'Stromboli, Terra di Dio' that will lead to the artistic and personal relationship between Bergman and Rossellini. The War of the Volcanoes is a documentary entirely based on the rich footage depicting the intense and dramatic love story between the world's most famous actress (Ingrid Bergman), the most appreciated director by Hollywood of his time (Roberto Rossellini) and Italy's most beloved actress (Anna Magnani).

A lively documentary about the passionate rivalry of two film shoots in the Mediterranean starring Ingrid Bergman, Roberto Rossellini and Anna Magnani.
