Experiencing Interruptions?

Pret' a mmare

The documentary deals with the history of Rione Terra in the city of Pozzuoli, near Naples. The district was evicted in 1970 due to bradyseism. Through interviews with experts and old inhabitants of the neighborhood, we try to reconstruct the tragic events of that day and the restoration and modernization work that has involved Rione Terra in recent years.
