Piazza Vittorio (2017)

Vitttorio Square is the largest square in Rome. Eskilyn Square and its surrounding areas are remarkable because of the multi-ethnic differences of its residents. In fact, here, we find a series of races near and far away: Romans, Asians, North Africans and Indians, who make squares and communities a lively place, but not easy to manage at the same time. Because of its unique and colorful nature, many artists and other characters closely related to the film world, such as Matteo Garrone and Willem Dafoe, choose it as their home. One of them was the great director Abel Ferrara, who decided to portray the world from his own independent and poetic perspective to make himself stand out in filmmaking. This was followed by surrealist and neo-realistic pictures of a day in square life, interviewing illegal and legal immigrants, tramps, artists, business owners and politicians, and giving their own private accounts. It is not only a portrait of a square, but also a portrait of changing Italy, and it tries to embark on the road of integration at all costs, often underestimating the side effects.
