Monday 9 July – 9.00 pm

Guerra alpina

by Luca Comerio (1915, 15’)

Restored copy Cineteca di Bologna

Real life images of a conflict that was fought more against nature than against the enemy.

Maciste alpino

by Luigi Maggi and Luigi Romano Borgnetto (1916, 97’)

Restored copy Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino and La Biennale di Venezia

The myth of the alpine soldier as the body of the nation. A myth that coincided with the Great War.

The archaeological sites will remain open beyond the usual time to enable visitors to enjoy the beauty of the setting at sunset (until 8.45 p.m. Villa dei Quintili).
