La terra, il fiume e il Toni. Life and places of Antonio Ligabue

The documentary was born from Progetto Ligabue, a great theatrical performance that received many awards. Art, marginality and madness by Mario Perrotta: an artistic project entirely centred on Antonio Ligabue with two theatrical performances, “Un bès” and “Pitùr”, and a final large event entitled “Bassa continua. Toni sul Po” shot between Gualtieri and Guastalla, the towns where the painter spent most of his life.

The documentary reveals places that still today hold the memory of Antonio Ligabue’s presence, letting the voices of those who really knew him tell about his life: Professor Negri, Piergino Chittolini, Nando Barbieri and Orazio Simonazzi. Mario Perrotta himself, together with Luca Torelli, evokes episodes of the painter’s life, setting the narration inside the theather of the town of Gualtieri.

The documentary was made with the sponsorship of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
