Synopsis
Sicily, 1693. An unprecedented violent earthquake comes down like a plague to the ancient and fabulous land that is sculpted by wind, volcanoes and sea and where the never-ending conflict between different cultures so scary for the modern world, gave the land unique and fascinating character.
Folded but never broken, Sicilians, with their indomitable spirit, decide to restart, to take care of their land, to rebuild their cities and villages.
In that way the baroque was born in Sicily, an imperfect and irregular pearl with all its overloaded, striking and gorgeous forms, very often considered as extreme with bad taste and even worthless.
A journey through which we discover the way in which Sicily rebuilds its own land, making man lose his privileged position in the centre of the creation; with a new curiosity about the nature and with the awareness of all the tricks inside which the senses can fall, because astonishing the spectators, their senses and their emotions becomes a means and not an ending.
