(lit. “At War for Love”) is a romantic comedy that examines the origins of the mafia’s rise to power in the 1940s. Set against the backdrop of the Americans’ arrival in Sicily during the Second World War, the main character in the film, Arturo, will have to enlist in the US Army if he wants to win the heart of his beloved Flora.

The screenplay has once again been written by Michele Astori, Pif and Marco Martani. The shoot will last nine weeks, five of which will take place in Sicily and four in Rome. In guerra per amore is being produced by Wildside with Rai Cinema.
