The story

What Is The War of the Volcanoes About?

The premise of The War of the Volcanoes without spoilers.

In 1948, a fan letter from Hollywood star Ingrid Bergman led to a meeting with director Roberto Rossellini, prompting him to invite her to Italy. This sparked outrage from Anna Magnani, a prominent Italian actress and Rossellini’s lover. As the Rossellini/Bergman collaboration was revealed to be set on the volcanic island of Stromboli, Magnani swiftly launched her own competing Hollywood-financed production, titled Volcano. The resulting rivalry between the two actresses and the blossoming relationship between Rossellini and Bergman captivated Italian tabloids and became a sensational cinematic battle.
