The Color Trilogy, composed of films inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment and the French flag (Blue, White and Red), is by far Krzysztof Kieślowski's most renowned and appreciated work, as well as his last artistic testimony.Beyond the first appearance, it conceals hidden meanings and obvious correspondences with what has already been staged in previous films and which will be an inspiration and comparison for the public and for those involved in the cinematographic environme...

Decades after its release, "The Double Life of Veronica" is wrongly considered an interlude film between Krzysztof Kieślowski's two most famous works. The artistic refinement, the delicate style, the magnificent interpretation of Irene Jacob and the exuberant music of Zbigniew Preisner make, on the contrary, this work completely unique and unrepeatable.A little jewel that we will try to explore in this book, always keeping in mind the never fully revealed mystery that surrounds this...

Following the symbolic unfolding of a solar year, multiple existences intersect their destinies with thoughts and actions halfway between the particular and the abstract.Olga chronologically relives the events that take her around the world, ignoring the existence of her alter-ego given by Eleonora. Their double destiny will be to never cross paths, not even when space and time come to touch.At the end of the logical cycle, several women's stories bring attention back to the ...

The eternal cycle of Life, made up of births and rebirths, is the protagonist of a series of circular stories, completely detached from a precise spatial and temporal location.Suspended between being unique or connected to other people, the different dialectics, allegorically represented by as many female figures, bring out the evidence of being and becoming, in an endless dance that involves every single person.

The seventeenth century was the century of the great scientific revolution, with the inductive and experimental methods developed by Bacon and Galileo, the discoveries of optics, Kepler's laws, Descartes's philosophical system, the ideas of Pascal and Spinoza, and, finally, the great work of Newton.The same century was also pervaded by the destruction and disease caused by the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that tore Europe apart, almost completely annihilating the population of Germ...

The century marking the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era opens with a feudal legacy stemming from the internal divisions of France and England, still embroiled in the Hundred Years' War.Between mutual betrayals and the mystical figure of Joan of Arc, this historical transition marks the arrival of gunpowder in Europe, marking one of the world's epochal changes.Along with it, the invention of movable type printing and the fall of the Eastern Empire pave the wa...

Servio Italico's choice to break with his family's traditions will give rise to a lineage that, for five generations, will walk alongside the history of the first century.From the defeat of Teutoburg to the conquest of Britain, from the death of Octavian Augustus to the fire of Rome, from the eruption of Vesuvius to the first campaign of Dacia, men and women will find themselves in the presence of the founding idea of the Roman Empire, shaken by novelties and evolutions in an attemp...

The travails of the third century, characterized by a profound social crisis in the Roman Empire, shaken by civil wars and constant invasions, inevitably affected the Italian family, beginning with the descendants of Numa, the imperial legate who won countless battles and would be the last witness of the Severan dynasty.In the darkest period of Rome's thousand-year history, amid usurpers and the end of patrician rule, there were key figures capable of averting collapse and restoring...

Through the Mailly family saga, the city of Paris became the cultural and political center of the nineteenth century, spanning the Napoleonic era, the Restoration, the July Monarchy, the 1848 uprisings, the Second Empire, the Commune, and the Belle Époque.In this context, different approaches and tensions emerge: musical Romanticism, great literature and poetry, art, which sees Impressionism as a fundamental shift for the contemporary era, and science, which, starting with electrica...
