The discovery of Super8 images from the Sixties. A poem, the throb of a heartbeat… The memory fundamental today.

"I pay the upmost respect to the sensitivity that Gino Brignolo had in documenting Turin at the beginning of the Sixties; the utmost respect to Sante Notarnicola, to his poetry, to his dignity, and to his coherence; the upmost respect to Assalti Frontali, to all the powers, and to the red line that ties them to the years gone by; and the utmost respect to a generation that of the postwar years which is not my own, but which I still feel very close to." (Claudio Paletto)
