When his symptoms finally receded, he was admitted to the orthopedic institute "Principe di Napoli" in Ariccia where he began a long period of rehabilitation. In February 1944, after more than a year of hospital stay, he was released and while the allied troops were fighting a bloody battle at Montecassino, his ordeal began: a life to face with the difficulties of disability. Siro has reacted to the many hardships of life caused by the terrible consequences of illness with courage, determination and vigor and has managed to overcome unimaginable obstacles for a person with his disabilities. In his early years he attended the most exclusive society salons and had romantic relationships with beautiful and famous women such as Isabella Biagini, Marisa Mell and Alida Chelli.

This film is a joyous, kaleidoscopic musical odyssey, weaving play and performance into a living tribute to Prince and The Revolution. At its heart, it is a concert of selves—a shapeshifting dance between the boy I was, the “respectable” adult I became, and the eternal showman who lives in between. Catfish speaks to the fluid nature of identity, to the layers we wear, borrow, and embody—“the man behind the man behind the man.” Through music and memory, I become not just myself, but an echo and an avatar of the heroes who stirred my soul. This is a film about transformation, homage, and the magic of becoming.
