Roma di Piombo recounts the lesser-known period of the Red Brigades. In other words, it addresses everything that happened after the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro.
Dealing with such a strong theme for Italian history immediately posed two important questions for me: how to avoid clichés and how to work creatively with the witnesses of that period, i.e. the representatives of the institutions and the ex-brigade activists.
I tried to follow a path that avoided reenactment and, rather, put the protagonists, today, in symbolic contexts that evoked the events of the time. The result was a bizarre visual clash; I confess that while I was shooting I asked myself more than once "What the fuck am I doing?" Nonetheless, in the end, it worked.
