First floor, Reggio Calabria
Giuseppe Falcomatà did not like the short that Muccino presented on Calabria and that had been commissioned by the Region at a cost of 1,700,000 euros. On the facebook profile of the metropolitan mayor of Reggio Calabria, what we reported in full appeared
I just saw the 8 minute ad (more than two dedicated only to the opening and closing credits) written and directed by Gabriele Muccino that narrates a Calabria from the novel Armonía: a beautiful love story between Raoul Bova and Rocío Munoz Morales lived in a clumsily artificial and stereotyped reality.
The boys sitting at the tables with flat hats and suspenders, the women with clothes taken from the wardrobes of the 50s, the man who drags donkeys are images that collide with the existing and, above all, with the desire to emerge. effort and desire to settle in a land that has the crystalline sea, the colors of the fields and the flavors of citrus, but also has much, much more to tell.
Muccino has set limits to a narrative that has no limits.
He could have filmed any corner that oozes history, any excellence in the field of crafts, technology or the arts. In six minutes we could have described tradition and modernity, seas, hills and mountains, gastronomic and oenological peculiarities that, from north to south of the region, go far beyond the clementines that are just one of our infinite riches.
He was able to frame Calabria with the eyes of Ibico, Pythagoras, Anassila, Milone, Nosside, Zaleuco, of the Riace Bronzes, of Mattia Preti and Umberto Boccioni, of Mimmo Rotella or Rino Gaetano. Between more than two minutes of opening and ending credits, he could have played and seen Calabria by Mia Martini, by Mino Reitano and Brunori Sas, by Renato Dulbecco, Gianni Versace and Gianni Amelio, by Tommaso Campanella and Corrado Alvaro, by Leonida Repaci or Joaquín de Fiore … In short, she could have, but maybe she didn’t know.
Now you know.
