Marquise Stefania Corradi Cervi in Geronazzo is with her husband Franco in New York on holiday. The couple brings along their camera in the noblest amateur format, the 16mm. And the result can be seen in the quality of these sequences filmed by the two Italians in New York, which may not be the capital of the United States, but as someone wrote, it is the Capital of the 20th century. All that remains is to celebrate the city and its architectural forms that everyone recognises. However, something always surprises, the geometry of a building seen from a new perspective, a human figure waving from the Brooklyn Bridge, a smile from Stefania that is rarely caught on camera. Both Stefania and Franco are inveterate filmmakers and travellers. For reasons of passing time, there are few left who still remember evenings at home in front of the screen dreaming of the many distant countries filmed on 16mm, the Geronazzo's passionate stories. Between a drink and a sunset in Bali even a few unconcealed yawns in the dark.
