'Caravaggio's Shadow' trivia and fun facts

Respect for his character

Riccardo Scamarcio said about his Caravaggio's character: "I immediately thought that [Caravaggio] was like Elvis Presley. My reference was Elvis. A small-town boy with great energy, passion, talent and rigor towards art. At that time, painting was the mainstream, there was nothing else, there was no photography, there was no radio, television or cinema. Paintings were so powerful because they spoke directly to the unconscious. And this man was the first to represent sacred images in a completely different way".
