Set of the Italian cinema 1960-1989, the second chapter of a three-year project started in 2010.

On stage until April 25, will be fifty stolen shots during the filming of famous Italian films that have chosen suburban or urban settings, cities or small country town of the beautiful country, as a background for a story. It starts from Sicily so wild and almost "rough" in L'Avventura, Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece of 1960, to reach the rich humanity of Civitavecchia What time is it?, Directed by Ettore Scola in 1989.
