Interesting facts
Chiara is a 2022 biographical historical drama film written and directed by Susanna Nicchiarelli. It follows the life of Saint Clare of Assisi, played by Margherita Mazzucco.
Production
Nicchiarelli conceived of the film during the early COVID-19 lockdowns in Italy after reading a book on Clare by historian Chiara Frugoni, who served as the script consultant for the film. According to Nicchiarelli, the dialogue is in "the Umbrian vernacular of the time". Linguist Nadia Cannata provided assistance for adapting the dialogue from modern Italian.
