Produced in 1979/80 by the Valle Imagna District Library System and shot on 16 mm film, acquired by the Lombardy Region's Department of Culture, Erba d'Imagna is a delicate and realistic portrait of the people of Imagna. The most striking features of the valley's reality emerge in the old men, tough and resilient, tempered by hard work, each locked in their hard-won plot of land. The real thing, indeed. Men—like blades of grass—generated and preserved in their land.

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.
