Giorgione da Castelfranco, sulle tracce del genio

Docu-film on the great Renaissance painter "Giorgione", in which two paths are woven along a harmonious narrative line: next to the cinematic and 'fiction' story (about 40 minutes) - with spectacular historical reconstructions and actors that stage stories and characters of the time - more typical documentary studies (about 12 mins) are made using the contributions of internationally renowned scholars (with interviews with Lionello Puppi, Enrico Dal Pozzolo, Jaynie Anderson and Peter Humfrey), institutional shootings, still -life. In October 1510, Taddeo Albano, Venetian merchant and trusted collaborator of Isabella d'Este, Duchess of Mantua, received from her the task of locating and buying Giorgione's "Nocte" for his private collection. Thus begins the journey of Taddeo in search of the work of the elusive painter, a journey that will bring him in touch with characters and contexts related to the artist: from Castelfranco to Asolo, from private clients to the Venetian intellectual circles that he attended, from his painters (Titian , Chain) at the festivals of Calza's companies, Taddeo guides us through the stages of Giorgione's life while at the same time giving us the atmospheres of his paintings.
