A Neapolitan artist with nomadic leanings is the guide along a journey “Radio Egnatia documents the living history of a secret identity
which, from Durazzo to Istanbul, follows the Via Egnatia, the ancient
Roman road which is a continuation of the Appian way in the Balkans.
The itinerary, which is marked at every stage by a chianca, a typical
stone from Lecce, tells the stories of peoples and traditions, from
Salento to Turkey, across the borders and the many cultural identities.
The journey finds its voice in Radio Egnatia, an imaginary radio station
whose program schedule is created by the mingling of sounds and real
information from those places.
of Mediterranean territories and people and of a group of men and
woman who have gone in search of it. Via Egnatia, before it is a
geographical expression, is a place of the soul, the connective tissue
of three thousand years of history spanning East and West.
A ‘relational’ film, in a web of perceptions that is traversed by
a sensitivity and culture which today could help free us from
the constant fear of one another.”
