The Istituto Luce turned 90 in 2014. To celebrate, they invited nine rising Italian filmmakers to make a short film, each using ten minutes of footage from the thousands of hours in the archives, resulting in a spectacular, diverse vision of Italy.
Nine up-and-coming directors were given access to archival footage from WW1 to late 20th century. Each presents a ten-minute short film aiming to build up a composite image of Italy during that time.
This is the segment of the anthology documentary directed by Rohrwacher
