Picture It: Sicily

Synopsis

Picture them: The unforgettable, hilarious stories of Sophia Petrillo, matriarch of all matriarchs, in the beloved sitcom The Golden Girls. The embodiment of wit, wisdom, and courage, Sophia is perhaps the most authentic depiction of the Sicilian-Italian-American woman ever presented on screen. Her picaresque adventures, her ribald, sweeping tales of romance and heartbreak, are now fully realized in the epic and truthful depictions they richly deserve in the streaming series Picture It: Sicily. These are the stories of young Sophia Grisanti, the lives she touches, and her many loves — all of whom ascend to greatness as a result of their encounter with the goddess Sophia. This is her life in Sicily before she became the Sophia Petrillo known and loved the world over. Featuring the voice of the legendary Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo, and the music of the great Jimmy Roselli, Picture It: Sicily brings both the stories of a true divine feminine Casanova and the essence of Italian-American culture, to life.

                                About Margo Neely

                                neely-logo-2025-web

                                Margo Neely is an internationally recognized polymath creator-inventor whose work pioneers new technologies, media forms, and cultural systems through practice, experimentation, and execution rather than trend-following pipelines. Working at the intersection of art, philosophy, technology, and human behavior, Neely conceives, designs, engineers, and launches original intellectual property that operates simultaneously as artwork, tool, and lived system.

                                Neely is best known as the inventor of the Neely Air Freestyle • Neely 33 Sound Shoe, a wearable drum-machine technology that fused music production, movement, and design into a category-defining object, achieving more than six billion in global reach organically. She is also the creator and director of Ladies Revenge Club, an award-winning television series named “Best of the Festival” and “Best Series” at New York Comic Con and New York Super Week’s Geekfest for its innovative narrative and production model.

                                Neely’s interdisciplinary practice spans art, writing, and invention, producing precedent-setting work studied, built upon, and activated across artistic, academic, and technological contexts, shaping models for how original ideas become durable cultural infrastructure.
