Its last traces forcefully unreveal, while new realities arise from those furrows and those marks to build a new world. From the last taces of an endangered world, the peasent world; to the memories tied to the Second World War, between horrors and commotion; to the realities that inhabit the territory, between ancient traditions and offsets, are the three chapters that articulate the story. An interactive journey that involves documentary film, animation, illustration, sound design and archive material of various nature to discover the stories of the Setteponti Road, one of the most beautiful itineraries that connects Florence and Arezzo (Tuscany, Italy).
