The history of the Pilastro district begins in the '60s, with some council houses a few miles from the center of Bologna, built to meet the demand for housing for the growing number of immigrants in the post-war period. Under the shadow of the Virgolone, one of the largest residential buildings in the city, grows a neighborhood with almost 7000 inhabitants, often rising at the center of media attention for its crime sagas. Through the history of a neighborhood and its inhabitants, the film explores the relationship between city spaces and daily experiences, in a context where challenges and contradictions in urban development are evident.

“The palace is empty. Fiume is without music.” With these words, in January 1921, Gabriele d’Annunzio bids farewell forever to the “city of life” and begins the final chapter of his existence. He retreats to Gardone Riviera, to the “Vittoriale degli Italiani,” where he will spend the last seventeen years of his life, transforming his home into a work of art and a place destined to preserve his memory. With Adriano Giannini as the narrator, the film takes us into a world-house where every room and every object reflects the personality and obsessions of its creator. The words of the Vate, drawn from his writings and correspondence, intertwine with contributions from scholars and artists, offering new perspectives on his figure and his cultural legacy.
