Padre Pio - Mysticism and Pragmatism
A documentary that retraces the places where Padre Pio lived and where he “built mercy” through faith and action

This documentary takes audiences on a journey between mystery and reality, tracing the life and legacy of the Capuchin friar who continues to inspire millions worldwide. From the mystical experience of the stigmata to the founding of the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza hospital, the film explores how his extraordinary spiritual gifts merged with a pragmatic vision of compassion. Through evocative locations, rare testimonies and archival voices, the documentary reveals a man suspended between the supernatural and the everyday, whose message of faith, mercy and resilience remains strikingly relevant today.
