Magnificent Mysteries (Magnifici Misteri) is a hypnotic video, without narration, a chase between people belonging to different times and places, they have walked for a few moments the same lands. It resumes three times and three different subjects, the first two belong to the past, to a piece of the Italian history, the history of my family.
The background is a true story, the kidnapping by the German soldiers of a horse, Stella, belonging to the family of my grandparents. The inspiration started from the extensive research that my uncles, Alessio and Dario, did following the Germans per 100 km, calling the horse, in vain. Towards the end of July 1944, German troops crossed Italy, a country without a government, an army, raiding families in the countryside and cities.
