TUSCANYNESS (2018) — A documentary on Tuscan Architecture [Eng/Chn Subs]

Tuscanyness is a nonprofit movie of 120g, a Cultural Association based in Pisa, Italy, founded by a group of young architects and engineers who share the same vision of a better future for their country. www.centoventigrammi.it TUSCANYNESS Today the Italian architecture scene is getting dramatic: decline of suburbs, abandoned buildings, property speculation; in this context the architects are no longer a cultural landmark and a lot of young architects have to emigrate abroad. Indeed, many centuries ago, in Tuscany, after a long period of deep darkness, few enlightened men gave to the world the formula for a cultural rebirth built around the mankind. Even if those times are passed, can the spirit of Brunelleschi and Michelangelo be connected to the spirit of people nowadays? Tuscanyness is a movie that tries to tell how this spirit of rebirth is still alive through the works and the words of architects both born and educated in the cultural atmosphere of Tuscany. In this enchanting Italian region the beauty is still a civil value, where is possible to experience the true need of establish an alliance with nature, or where is possible to live the unique opportunity to listen to the teachings of the past. www.centoventigrammi.it/progetti/tuscanyness/ DIRECTED BY Andrea Crudeli WRITTEN BY Andrea Crudeli, Riccardo Bartali, Marta Gnesi, Filippo Lisini Baldi PHOTOGRAPHY Alessandro Ariel Terranova, Fabio Santaniello Bruun, Aurelio Zarbo, Riccardo Bartali, Giulio Fazio AERIAL VIEWS Alte Vedute NARRATOR Carlo Bernardini ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS Luca Battistini PRODUCED BY 120g, University of Pisa, CESA Sas, CB Studio, Renato Lupetti STARRING Marco Casamonti, Fabrizio Rossi Prodi, Carlo Nepi, Augusto Mazzini, Leonardo Matassoni, MDU Architetti, Giuseppe Chigiotti, Claudio Nardi, Eutropia Architettura, Roberto Pasqualetti, Pietro Carlo Pellegrini, Salvatore Re, Massimo Fiorido, Sundaymorning, Paolo Zermani, Paolo Bertoncini Sabatini, Riccardo Butini, Heliopolis 21, Paolo Riani TRANSLATION BY Giovanna Zuliani, Lorenzo Ciancarini, Olga Beatrice Carcassi, Marco Dietrich, Nadia Hoffman, Bill McKenna (Eng) ; Collin Chen (Chn) INTERVIEWS BY Andrea Crudeli, Riccardo Bartali, Marta Gnesi, Filippo Lisini Baldi, Alessandro Ariel Terranova, Fabio Santaniello Bruun, Giulio Fazio, Antonio Treglia, Leonardo Magursi, Giulia Grassi, Francesca Chiappa, Olga Beatrice Carcassi, Viola Tamberi, Francesca Moschini, Giacomo Massoni, Michele Grazzini, Valerio Lo Porto, Andrea Baglini EDITING Alessandro Ariel Terranova, Andrea Crudeli AUDIO EDITING Daniele Fasoli SOUNDTRACKS Luca Battistini - Obrigado, Luca Battistini - Peniche, Rugo - Co(i)libri Scienze Teheran - And I am sad, again, Autumn Stories - Week #5, Chris Zabriskie - The temperature of the Air on the Bow, Kaleetan Rameses B - Memoirs, Shrinmpanse - Neptunes Score, David Hyde - Acoustic instrumental, Dexter Britain - Everything You Know, Pergolesi - Stabat Mater, Schombo - Don’t Stop, Dexter Britain - Light of Life, Ricco Escalante - Those happy moments, Dexter Britain - Second class citizen
