I GIORNI E LE OPERE

DAYS AND WORKS
by Francesco Dongiovanni
Country: Italy
Year: 2019
Duration: 72'


Peppino lives in the Italian countryside, between Puglia and Basilicata, Altamura and Matera. His days and his works are dedicated to the land and animals. The time of its existence follows the movement of the sky and the wind. We don’t need to know much about him: that little or that much – which is everyone’s life – is written in his eyes.

Declaration

film director

“The great Sire himself / No easy road to husbandry assigned, / And first was he by human skill to rouse / The slumbering glebe, whetting the minds of men / With care on care, nor suffering realm of his / In drowsy sloth to stagnate.” (Virgil, The Georgics)
