The myth of the Etruscans has challenged the centuries. Among the submerged worlds of history, theirs is one of the most mysterious and their shadow, projected onto the present, is still extremely fascinating.
In the footsteps of the Etruscans, the video visually translates the profound relationship between some Italian contemporary artists and the Etruscan world. A sort of ideal bond that has inspired many artists: from Mimmo Paladino to Alberto Giacometti, from Arnaldo Pomodoro to Massimo Campigli to Mirko Basaldella and Pinot Gallizio. A common thread that allows us to look at a lesser known Italian heritage with new eyes.
