Il tramonto dietro al Vesuvio

-

On the Rocks


By Roberto Bianco

Everyone knows Naples' skyline dominated by the volcano. The short film suggests a different point of view: the Vesuvius seen "from behind", from the first reliefs of the Apennine chain, consequence of the same subduction. Through the plot of panoramic shots, tales, time-lapse and historical memory, the three-minute story begins at sunrise and ends at sunset. The sunset behind the Vesuvius.
