Captain Corelli

The Italianminifig minifigure depicts Captain Antonio Corelli, an officer of the Italian Army during World War II, inspired by the character portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the 2001 film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

Printed in 360° on genuine Lego base, the figure wears the WW2 Italian officer uniform, complete with side cap and his signature mandolin, symbol of his romantic spirit.

Captain Corelli is an iconic character who represents the blend of military duty and human sensitivity, set against the tragic backdrop of the Italian occupation of Cephalonia.

Witty, cultured, and passionate about music, he stands for a different kind of soldier—one who chooses love, conscience, and compassion over blind obedience.

Every detail of the minifigure – from the historical uniform to the actor-inspired facial expression and the slung mandolin – has been carefully designed to honor this complex and moving figure, blending cinema and historical memory.

This minifigure is a tribute to one of the most emotional stories in Italian and international cinema, ready to tell – in Lego form – the enduring power of love and humanity even in the darkest pages of history.
