Al Pacino Joins Biopic "Maserati: The Brothers"
Yara Sameh Oscar winner Al Pacino has joined the cast of the star-studded biographical drama "Maserati: The Brothers,". Directed by Bobby Moresco, the biopic is follows the family behind the high-performance automobiles that, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini, Italy is known for. In 'Maserati', Pacino will be making a cameo appearance as businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro, who supported the Maserati family and invested in the early days of the company. The star-studded film also stars Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Abla, Michele Morrone, Salvatore Esposito, Gina La Piana, and Tatiana Luter. Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto. The trident that is the company's emblem is a replica of the one found in the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. From early on, the company –which is now known for exotic luxury cars — was tied to the world of auto racing. Maserati's first Grand Prix racing car, called 'Type 26,' is the vehicle that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later, on March 3, 1932, at the age of 44 from complications related to that accident. In 1937, the brothers, while remaining involved, sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat. Iervolino ('Modì') is the lead producer on the biopic. Nicki Cortese and Wayne Marc Godfrey from Bright White Light ' The Beast' are co-financing and executive producing the project. The second and final phase of filming of 'Maserati' will start in June in Rome. The film is slated for a worldwide premiere in early Fall 2025, Iervolino said. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War

What was Pope Francis's final regret before his death? His doctor reveals
Pope Francis breathed his last on Easter Monday, on April 21, at the age of 88, a day after making his last appearance at the Vatican , delivering a special blessing to people. The head of the Roman Catholic Church died of an unexpected stroke that led to a coma and a subsequent heart failure. The pontiff has talked about embracing old age as it symbolized experience, wisdom, knowledge, discernment, thoughtfulness, listening, and slowness, in an unpublished text released by the Vatican. While he did not fear death or old age, and lived a meaningful and dedicated life, he had one final regret, according to his doctor Dr Sergio Alfieri who also witnessed his final moments. Dr Alfieri in an interview with Corriere della Sera talked about his last meeting with the Pope on Saturday - two days before he died - when he gave him his favourite pie. During their chat, Pope told the doctor that he was very well and had started working again, and he liked it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Pope's last regret "We knew that he wanted to go home to be Pope up until the last moment," said Dr Alfieri.

Pope died quickly and without suffering, doctor says
Pope Francis died quickly from an unexpected stroke without suffering undue pain and there was nothing that doctors could have done to save his life, the head of the pontiff's medical team says. Sergio Alfieri, a physician at Rome's Gemelli hospital, oversaw the Pope's treatment there during a five-week stay when Francis was fighting double pneumonia earlier in 2025. In interviews published on Thursday, Alfieri said he received a phone call about 5.30am on Monday to go quickly to the Vatican and arrived about 20 minutes later. 'I entered his rooms and he (Francis) had his eyes open,' the doctor told Corriere della Sera newspaper. 'I ascertained that there were no respiratory problems. 'And then I tried to call his name but he did not respond to me. 'In that moment I knew there was nothing more to do. 'He was in a coma.' In a separate interview with La Repubblica, Alfieri said some officials who were present with the Pope suggested moving him immediately back to the hospital. 'He would have died on the way,' the doctor said. 'Doing a CT scan we would have had a more exact diagnosis, but nothing more. 'It was one of those strokes that, in an hour, carries you away.' Francis was 88 and had nearly died while fighting pneumonia but his death came as a shock. Just the previous day he appeared in St Peter's Square in an open-air popemobile to greet cheering crowds on Easter Sunday, suggesting his convalescence was going well. After Francis returned to the Vatican on March 23 after a 38-day hospital stay, Alfieri and the Pope's other doctors had prescribed him a two-month period of rest to allow his ageing body to heal. Francis, known to push himself hard, kept working. He met briefly with US Vice-President JD Vance on Easter Sunday, and had visited a prison in Rome on April 17, Holy Thursday, to offer well wishes to the inmates. Alfieri said the Pope listened to his doctors' advice and did not push himself too hard. The doctor said he last saw Francis on Saturday afternoon. 'He was very well,' Alfieri said, adding he gifted the Pope some pie in a flavour he knew the pontiff liked. He recounted the Pope saying: 'I am very well, I have started working again, and I like it.' 'We knew that he wanted to go home to be pope up until the last moment,' the doctor said. In the Repubblica interview, Alfieri said Francis had shared one final regret with him. While he was happy to have visited the prisoners on April 17, he wished he had been able to perform a foot-washing ritual for the Church's celebration of Holy Thursday. ' 'This time I couldn't do it' was the last thing he said to me.'

Pope Francis's final moments revealed: How doctor knew he was gone, and his last regret
The head of Pope Francis 's medical team has revealed new details about the pontiff's final moments. The 88-year-old died quickly on the morning of Easter Monday, Dr Sergio Alfieri, who oversaw the Pope's treatment for pneumonia earlier this year at Rome's Gemelli hospital, said in interviews published on Thursday.

"In that moment I knew there was nothing more to do. He was in a coma." In another interview with La Repubblica, Dr. Alfieri mentioned that some officials present suggested immediately transporting the Pope back to Gemelli hospital.
