(Apr. 9) – The sea of Amantea, seen from the train station, is one of the first images of the short film shot in the Calabrian town by two Italo-Venezuelans, Giulio Vita and Andrés Paduano. The beauty of seaside cities and the importance of belonging to a place emerge from “La mia Mantia”, title of th film by the two young filmmakers, currently residing in Madrid. The screening took place in Caracas, at the presence of a large part of the Italian community in Venezuela and of the Calabria Community Association. Among the representatives of Italian institutions: Tina Di Battista, president of the People form Abruzzo and Molise in Caracas, and Michael Buscemi, president of the Caracas Comittee. The short film is produced by La Guarimba, a company founded by the Vita and Paduano. “This short film was made by love or maybe by the need for love,” said Vita presenting the work to the audience in Caracas.
