Sussurrate con me fontane romane

2005 · 25m

Rome is home to the most beautiful and famous fountains in the world. Monumental and spectacular works by celebrated artists and architects adorn equally famous squares, but there are also smaller fountains and secluded fountains in certain corners of the city that enchant with their uniqueness. Large and small, they are all part of Rome's artistic heritage and history. The film features one hundred and twenty public fountains, representing the daily spectacle of Rome's water, a theater of human and mythological figures, bestiaries, and symbols, with the music of water that has spanned the centuries. And in the film, it is a fountain, the Mascherone on Via Giulia, that tells the story of Rome's water, its millennia-old aqueducts, and its countless fountains. The constant gushing of the fountains, sometimes abundant and spectacular, sometimes subdued, is the deep breath of the Eternal City.
