The documentary traces the life of artist Massimo Rao through 1970s Naples, the electrifying discovery in Trani that launched him at just twenty, his formative years in the Dolomites of South Tyrol, and finally his retreat to the Umbrian hamlet of Pornello, where he created his most intense works before his premature death in 1996. Through interviews with art critics, historians, and firsthand witnesses, along with footage of his paintings revealing his extraordinary Renaissance technique and exclusive archival materials, the film seeks to recover a little-known artistic legacy. Rao’s painting “doesn’t shout or scream, but speaks softly,” as critic Janus writes: it is a quiet path to beauty that questions our relationship with the infinite.
