A town tells its own story. Thirteen people from Velo Veronese, set at an altitude of 1087 metres in the Lessini mountains above Verona, are featured in this collective self-narration. Alessandro Anderloni involves his fellow villagers in a dialogue combining memories with everyday life today, to reflect directly on the meaning of living in the mountains, on past and future changes and on feeling part of a community.

Awards

EUSALP Award. What keeps me here
Ed. 2024
For its ability to highlight the meaningful and positive aspects of living in the mountains and belonging to a community, through the innovative construction of the film, also thanks to the importance of cultural initiatives and intergenerational cooperation. Velo Veronese becomes a symbol of all mountain communities, above all those outside the circuits of mass tourism, communities that in the post-covid era become of interest in terms of quality of life and opportunities for those seeking refuge from the chaos of cities. In the jury's opinion, the film has the virtue of reviving the childhood memories of those born in small alpine villages, without nostalgia, allowing those who instead grew up in cities to perceive their authenticity, with pleasure and a touch of envy.
Premio Museo etnografico trentino San Michele
Ed. 2024
“Inutile cercare, il tuo paese resta quello dell’infanzia”: questo l’emblematico esergo di Velovelodico, fil rouge che soggiace ai vissuti sapientemente narrati attraverso un dialogo profondo, intimo tra Anderloni e tredici voci che si intrecciano tessendo un velo. Velo che, sottile, accarezza le emozioni, le speranze, le esperienze forgiate dalla vita in montagna che si confronta tra passato, presente e futuro.
