Il tempo ripetuto // Repeated Time
Si può suonare quel silenzio? E le immagini raccolte nelle testimonianze dell’ondata di peste del 1631 in val d’elsa? si può trovare un ritmo nelle parole di un decreto legge che stabilisce quali servizi sono essenziali?

Radicondoli is a Tuscan village of 937 residents in the province of Siena, which is 44km away. During the 14th century, Radicondoli was an important center of textile craftsmanship of the Sienese state because of the wool processing that took place in the area. Its monumental cornerstone is the Collegiate Church of Saints Simone and Giuda, built on the remains of a centuries-old Romanesque parish church. The Radicondoli Festival began in 1986 and is held every year between July and August, intertwining high-culture and popular theatre.
