A free and imaginary portrait of Piero Ciampi (1934-1980), singer-songwriter and poet from Livorno, which takes its name from one of his last texts. Through the evocation of illusory spaces, real places, interventions of those who were his friends and knew him, we proceed by flashes and suggestions to the staging of an artistic parable, nourished by tumultuous love, contempt for life, alcohol and genius, which has left an indelible mark in the history of songwriting.

To mark the recent thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work.
