Dante Alighieri was a poet, philosopher and politician in 1300 Florence. The visionary author of "Inferno", the first book of the "Divine Comedy", he was both a direct witness and a narrator of his times and his poem is a remarkable geopolitical chronicle of a tumultuous period of the Middle Ages from 1300 to 1320, a time when Kings, Popes, rulers and warlords played a deadly chess game for the control of Europe. In this high end docudrama, some of the world's finest scholars will help provide historical context to the unfolding of events, making them accessible to a wide audience, and giving us a privileged viewpoint over one of the most eventful and funding chapters of European history.

The video is the re-actualization of a memory, the reproduction of an image that in turn reproduces the reality of an event stuck in memory: when we bring into focus the memory from that moment on it vanishes, leaving only a sense of melancholia and emptiness of the soul. The video is inspired by unknown people’s personal memories and attempts to put them into focus crystallizing the very moment in which everything burst into flames and the memory vanishes. The technique used is the film combustion. Ach combustion is natural and is a unique and unrepeatable act, because the burned frame, even if similar to others, it is none other than itself and represents the instantaneous shot of an unrepeatable moment.

Lysergic video between pure Found-footage and mash-up, it gained a number of shows in different festivals; it is an aggression to the woman image, meant to be the creativity, idea and inspiration figure and metaphor. Burning and melting and deforming creativity, the destruction of which generates a trick of light and color, and creates a small creative divertissement.

Video entirely made in electronic and chemical analog, it takes the cue from Librino, a neighborhood in the periphery of Catania, designed by Kenzo Tange, and made in the Sicilian Unfinished style. Deteriorated, demagnetized electronic and creative chemistry are the main instruments employed in order to convey Librino’s estrangement atmospheres.
