Erba d'Imagna

Overview

Produced in 1979/80 by the Valle Imagna District Library System and shot on 16 mm film, acquired by the Lombardy Region's Department of Culture, Erba d'Imagna is a delicate and realistic portrait of the people of Imagna. The most striking features of the valley's reality emerge in the old men, tough and resilient, tempered by hard work, each locked in their hard-won plot of land. The real thing, indeed. Men—like blades of grass—generated and preserved in their land.
