Bologna Centrale was originally made for the radio, it is a sort of filmed diary, a retrospective autobiography, a sentimental documentary about Italy and its political history during the late 1970's, when terrorism was rampant. The film is a present-day report: a chronicle of images and sounds that were recorded in the places of the past.

"People write, make videos, go to ballet performances, to the theater, they listen to music, etc. But nowadays I think it's impossible to communicate exclusively 'through cinema', 'through literature' etc. Our epoch has this fascinating aspect: it is made of quotes, recycling, leaps in space and time; it is interdisciplinary" (V. Dieutre).
