- A journey between present and past, full of testimonies and reflections to recount the writer Mario Rigoni Stern (1921-2008) on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. Over the course of a day, from dawn to starry night, Stern's voice recalls the years of war and imprisonment. The Alpine soldiers' sergeant, who returned home, became in time the guardian of the Asiago plateau and his homeland takes on the value of a world to be preserved against wars and indifference. Leading the narration of the documentary is the voice of the writer himself, recorded on many occasions throughout his life. Starting with the last years and travelling backwards, the writer recalls the war, imprisonment and the return home, ending at the time of the publication of 'Sergeant in the Snow' (1953), the book that marked the beginning of his career. To respect this personal narrative, we sought out testimonies from the writer's private life. This includes friends from the theatre, film and music, as well as people associated with collaborations of which the writer left documentation. Symbolically, the story takes place over the course of a day on the Asiago Plateau, from dawn to starry night. In fact, many locations in the Asiago basin that Stern used to frequent, from the historic center of Asiago to the Marcésina plain to Mount Zebio, are portrayed in the different seasons. But among the archive material and footage shot for the occasion, other places in the story take us to Val d'Aosta, where young Mario's adventure as an Alpine soldier began in 1938. And then to Albania and Russia where he fought and experienced the harsh retreat of the ARMIR. Finally in Austria, at the Präbichl pass, in search of the Lager where he put his notes in order and resumed writing the 'Sergeant' and in Switzerland, in Val Bavona, a place emblematic of his ideal relationship between man and nature.
- The architect Frank Lloyd Wright disappears on 9 April 1959. On 17 August 1969 Mies van der Rohe. On September 16th 1979 Gio Ponti. In 2019 the three Masters of 20th century architecture are celebrated. The three documentaries intend to remember and celebrate the three great Masters of twentieth century architecture, giving voice to some Italian architects who wonder about their heritage. The professional path and profile of the three Masters, told by the architectural historian Francesco Dal Co, intertwine with the reflection on the themes and characteristics of Wright, Van Der Rohe and Ponti through the words and testimonies of some of the greatest Italian architects who lead us on a passionate journey into their work to collect their heritage. The architects Stefano Boeri, Mario Cucinella, Michele De Lucchi, Massimiliano Fuksas, Massimo Iosa Ghini, Matteo Thun, wonder about the "lesson" left by the three Masters, about the meaning and impact of their works in the architectural culture of the twentieth century; they reflect on their imagery by revisiting their conceptions and reinterpreting today those visions in a contemporary world that can find sustainable forms and patterns from the past.
