To mark the first centenary of the death of Giuseppe Verdi, the Emilia-Romagna Region, toghether with AICER and IBC, promoted the realization of this video for the exhibition Restoring Verdi’s places - from Roncole to Sant’Agata via Busseto. The video aims at giving back the surroundings and the panoramas experienced and loved by Verdi, using a series of virtual reconstructions, digitally drawn from original documents. The video runs along the main stages of an ideal Verdi route: the birthplace at Roncole, Busseto, where Verdi spent his childhood and adolescence, the countryside and the surroundings, Villa Verdi at Sant’Agata and its garden, bought in 1848, when, well-known and rich, he decided to come back to his home land. From these privileged points of view, stories of the Maestro and events and vicissitudes of the surroundings are told with the live comment of professor Pier Luigi Cervellati, curator of the restauration of Roncole and Sant’Agata and planner of the mentioned exhibition.
