Introduction
To give voice to the list of the most - loved places in Italy in order to give those places a future, it's the aim of "I Luoghi del Cuore" , the national census supported by FAI - the National Trust for Italy - and Banca Intesa Sanpaolo, now in its 5th Edition.
Since 2003 hundreds of thousands of citizens have identified thousands of places that are particularly dear to them, which they would like to see remembered and preserved for future generations. The collected reports identify places both known and unknown, potentially at risk or to be restored and improved, which occupy a special position in the life of those who hold it in their hearts; the chosen places range from historic mansions, famous statues or well-known beaches, to small churches, lighthouses, islands, alpine lakes, news-stands and mills.
For the second year in a row, through collaboration with Milano Film Festival, 10 directors have been offered the chance to produce a short film dedicated to their own favorite place: an unmistakeably Italian place, in which the common ground of culture, art and landscape that characterizes particularly our country can be recognized.
Among the ten short films selected, created thanks to the financial support by "I Luoghi del Cuore", one will be selected as the winner of a special award bestowed by a jury constituted by filmmakers Chiara Brambilla, Michelangelo Frammartino and Luca Ragazzi.
