No Dogs or Italians Allowed (French: Interdit aux chiens et aux italiens) is an animated feature film, directed by Alain Ughetto and released in 2022.[1] A coproduction of companies from France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal, the claymation film recounts the story of Ughetto's grandfather Luigi, who emigrated from Italy to France in the early 1900s for a better life despite widespread anti-Italian discrimination in that era.[2]
As Ughetto never really knew his grandfather, due to Luigi's death when Ughetto was only an infant, the film was based principally on stories told to Ughetto by his grandmother Cesira, Luigi's widow.[2]
Cast
The film's voice cast includes Stefano Paganini as Luigi, Ariane Ascaride as Cesira and narration by Ughetto himself, as well as Diego Giuliani, Christophe Gatto, Laurent Pasquier, Bruno Fontaine, Angelo Rinna, Laura Devoti, Aude Carpintieri, Thierry Buenafuente, Carlo Ferrante, Gaia Saitta, Jacques Chambon, Pascal Gimenez, Moritz Korff, Martin Prill and Waléry Doumenc in supporting roles.
