Friday, March 29 at 21:00 | Cinéma Sala Pegasus
The director and journalist Stefano Liberti meets the audience of Spoleto for the presentation of the documentary SOYALISM.
The evening is a Visioni d’Autore special event, in collaboration with Coworking Spoleto
THE DOCUMENTARY
In an increasingly overpopulated world, in the grip of climate change, control of food production has become a huge business for a handful of a few giant companies. Following the pork production chain, from China to Brazil via the United States and Mozambique, the documentary describes the enormous movement of power concentration in the hands of these companies, which is taking hundreds of thousands of small producers out of business and permanently transforming entire landscapes. From intensive mega-breeding in China to the Amazon rainforest threatened by soybean crops developed to feed animals confined to sheds on the other side of the world, this process is undermining the social and environmental balances of the planet.
The film had its world premiere on November 18, 2018 at the International documentary film festival in Amsterdam.
STEFANO LIBERTI
Stefano Liberti is an Italian journalist and director. He directed the documentary “L’inferno dei bimbi stregoni” The hell of witch children, winner of L’Anello Debole award in 2010. He wrote “I signori del cibo. Viaggio nell’industria alimentare che sta distruggendo il pianeta” The Lords of food. A journey into the food industry that is destroying the planet (Minimum fax 2016).
Visioni d’Autore is organized by the City of Spoleto, MAIA Cultural Association and Cinéma Sala Pegasus.

EKATERINA VORONA – DREAMSCAPE
by Gianluca Marziani
The first opening of the double exhibition of EKATERINA VORONA is scheduled for Thursday, February 14 at 18:30 in Rome at 28 PIAZZA DI PIETRA; the second will take place on Saturday, March 30 at 12:00 in Spoleto at PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE. The two exhibitions are curated by Gianluca Marziani and have been organized in collaboration with Francesca Anfosso and Anna Vyazemsteva.
Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts continues its strategic research between cultures and geographical identities to define a wide-ranging close-up on contemporary painting. 2019 will see a focus on some Russian authors, starting in spring with the Moscow artist Ekaterina Vorona, who presents the results of the last five years of production. A clear figurative distillate of the aquatic landscape, a homogeneous vision that metabolizes the European research of the late nineteenth century with silent but significant conceptual shifts.
PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE
There will be about forty works, all in large format, selected by the curator Gianluca Marziani. A homogeneous choice that enters the ambitious heart of Ekaterina Vorona’s painting, making the colours shine on the imposing walls of the museum. A production linked to the last five years of research, entirely documented in the catalogue, published by Carlo Cambi and accompanied by a critical analysis by the curator himself.

VISIONI D’AUTORE
Director Federico Bondi presents his film DAFNE
DAFNE a film by Federico Bondi
Winner of the FIPRESCI Award – International Critics’ Award at the Berlinale 2019 in the Panorama section.
Daphne is thirty-five years old, she likes her a job, she has friends and colleagues who love her. She has Down’s syndrome and lives with her parents, Luigi and Maria. The sudden death of her mother shatters the family balance: Daphne is forced to face mourning but also support Luigi, who has fallen into a state of depression. Thanks to the affection of those around her, her determination and awareness, Daphne finds the strength to react and tries in vain to shake her father.
Until one day something unexpected happens: together they will undertake a journey in the mountains towards Mary’s native country, and, in an attempt to look ahead, they will discover a lot about each other.
The director – Federico Bondi
Federico Bondi was born in Florence. He graduated in Cinema History and Criticism and in 2008 he made his debut in the feature film with Mare Nero, in competition at the 61st Locarno Film Festival (winning the Pardo D’oro award for Best Actress, the Ecumenical Jury award and the Youth Jury award); the movie was nominated for the David di Donatello for Best Actress and for the Nastro d’Argento for Best Newcomer Director. Since the end of the nineties he has been directing commercials and documentaries, including Soste (2001), Soste Japan (2002), L’uomo planetario. L’utopia di Ernesto Balducci (2005), Educazione affettiva (2014).
DAFNE is his second feature-length fiction film.
The protagonist – Carolina Raspanti
Carolina Raspanti was born in 1984 in Lugo di Romagna. After graduating brilliantly, she was hired at the Ipercoop in Lugo, where she still works.
She has written two autobiographical novels that she presents around Italy: “Questa è la mia vita” and “Incontrarsi e conoscersi: ecco il mondo di Carolina”.

Botany, Food, Medicine, Folklore
From 1 to 7 April 2019
The Mycological Group of the Spoleto Valley in collaboration with Zon@ambiente, organizes a workshop focusing on the knowledge, recognition and various uses of edible wild herbs. Since the mists of time, man has used these plants for food and healing purposes, as well as in other lesser-known contexts. In hostile historical periods, famines and conflicts, these plants have guaranteed the survival of entire populations with their nutritional value. The use of these spontaneous natural foods, combined with a simple cooking, allow the rediscovery of now forgotten tastes and flavors.
The following topics will be explored In the four meetings, which will take place in the hall of the library “Mountagne di libri” of Spoleto’s Comunità Montana (via dei Filosofi 89):
Monday, April 1, 8:30 p.m.: Hints and notions of Botany and Classification, aimed at the recognition of the main edible wild herbs comparing them with similar poisonous species.
Thursday, April 4, 8:45 p.m.: Wild edible herbs in cooking, with detailed explanations and practical demonstrations, exposing many delicious recipes, both classic and folkloric, also associated with local traditional, religious and civil contexts.
Friday, April 5, 8:45 pm: A journey through the Paleobotany, with the help of various fossil remains from various locations around the world, the most characteristic and significant plant forms that have followed one another in the long evolutionary journey of our planet. Hints of “Ethnobotany”, a cross-section of popular traditions, phytotherapeutic properties, magical and religious-divinatory rituals, historical aspects, uses in various human environments, popular beliefs and curiosities.
And finally, Sunday, April 7 starting at 9:00 am, the last day dedicated to a botanical excursion, aimed at the recognition and collection of edible wild herbs, followed by a welcome and lunch infusion with dishes based on wild herbs and food produced by the farmer that will host us, “Località il Piano”, in the hamlet of Paterno, Vallo di Nera (PG). Various activities will also be proposed: Educational Farm, milking, preparation and tasting of mozzarella, notions of gorgonzola production, guided tour of the farm, breeding of various animals etc.

Wednesday, April 3 at 21:30, a new Visioni d’Autore event: Director Leonardo Guerra Seràgnoli meets the audience of Spoleto for the presentation of the film LIKEMEBACK, presented at the 71st Locarno Festival in the Cineasti del Presente Section.
Visioni d’Autore is organized by Comune Di Spoleto, Associazione Culturale MAIA and Cinéma Sala Pegasus.
THE MOVIE
Lavinia, Carla and Danila have just finished high school and are leaving together for a sailing holiday. They are alone with their mobile phones and a skipper, travelling along the coasts of Croatia, full of dreams, freedom, carefreeness and unaware that sharing everything on social media will turn their holiday into a brutal rite of passage to adulthood where nothing, especially their friendship, will ever be as before.
Presented in the Cineasti del Presente section, it gained the attention of Locarno press and audience by recording sold out previews and two extra screenings. A particular work of research and experimentation has involved photography and sound; the original music was entrusted to Alva Noto, one of the most important sound artists in the world, nominated for an Oscar with Ryūichi Sakamoto for the soundtrack of The Revenant by A. G. Inarritu.
THE DIRECTOR
Leonardo Guerra Seràgnoli began his artistic career as a musician with a degree in film scoring from the Berklee College of Music in 2007. In 2006 he shot his first short film, Meat and Sky, and founded the production company Essentia to support independent films such as The Wait (2013) by M. Blash and Jack and Diane (2012) by Bradley Rust Gray. In 2012 he graduated in screenwriting from the London Film School. In 2013 he wrote and directed his first feature-length film, Last Summer, which was presented at the Rome Film Festival in 2014 and received three awards and critical acclaim. In 2018, with the creative involvement of three young actresses, he wrote, directed and produced Likemeback. He is currently writing his next film, the adaptation of Alberto Moravia’s Gli indifferenti (1929).

On Wednesday, April 10 at 17.00 Ascanio Celestini will present his latest book Barzellette at the Library “G. Carducci” in Palazzo Mauri. Celestini has collected and reinvented jokes from all over the world. Stories that do not belong to anyone, but are available to everyone. They tell us what we have become, allow us to dig into the murky without becoming murky people. The event is included in the Spoleto di Primavera programme.
But Celestini will also be involved in another event: from 10 to 12 April the actor and writer will be the protagonist of three meetings inside Maiano prison with inmates-students of the art school IIS Sansi Leonardi Volta and participants of #Sine Nomine theater course. This last initiative was born thanks to the collaboration between the Turin Book Fair and CESP (Centro studi scuola pubblica – Rete nazionale delle scuole ristrette) on the occasion of “Adotta uno scrittore” (Adopt a writer), a national project that offers students the opportunity to confront themselves directly with authors to explore the fascinating universe of literary production.
