Italia – where WOW belongs (Itália)
Realização: Fabio Reitano, Simone Menin, Giuseppe Lombardi
Produção: Wow Tapes
Localização: Italy, from Sicily to the Alps
This video is almost a self-portrait: product of the blood, sweat and tears (of joy!) of 4 thoroughly and truly Italian shutterbugs on an overwhelming journey into the heart of their country's beauty. We wanted to hop into our camper and take off to create a representation of how we see our beloved Italia with all her unparalled beauty gravitating around food and a beautiful mess of people. Over 5000kms through Italy is less than 2 months made us fall in love all over again.
