Tramite amicizia - Ferrara as the perfect backdrop to Alessandro Siani's new movie
Ferrara is a city with a very strong cinematographic tradition
Our city has nurtured great artists of national cinema such as Antonioni and Vancini, but it has also nurtured the likes of Carlo Rambaldi (father of the famous extraterrestrial E.T.) and other figures fundamental to Italian cinema.
But Ferrara and its territory have also been a magical setting chosen by many renowned directors to tell the most compelling stories: De Sica and 'Il giardino dei Finzi Contini', Giuliano Montaldo's 'Gli occhiali d'oro', Mario Soldati's 'La donna del fiume' -with which Sofia Loren consolidated her career at an international scale- and, recently, the film 'Tramite amicizia' by Alessandro Siani.
Coming 14 February to all cinemas, Tramite Amicizia is a comedy of the kind that makes you think. Alessandro Siani touches on the themes of friendship, difficulties in the world of work, and the aftermath that the covid emergency has left in our society. Topics with which each of us can identify.
After the 'sold-out' premiere in Ferrara on 4 February, the film finally reaches the mainstream audience! Making the feature film unique is a corollary of perfect co-stars: from Max Tortora and Matilde Gioli to Valeria Angione, Debora Villa, Teresa Del Vecchio and the incomparable Maria Di Biase.
The film was shot in Ferrara and moves through several of the most evocative places in the city: the very central Piazza Savonarola at the base of the majestic Castello Estense, the porticos of the Theatre and the suggestive Rotonda Foschini, Corso Martiri and its various shops, the unique atmosphere of the medieval Via Giuoco del Pallone. An overview that shows the placid life that our city offers between its important past and its organic, incessant everyday life.
An appointment not to be missed to get to know and enjoy Ferrara as the perfect setting for the human events that punctuate the film's plot.
We can't wait to see it, and you? We'll see you at the cinema!
