Venturino Venturi [view]
Interviewed shortly before his death, the artist discusses the essential
points of his work and leaves us with a profound and sincere example
of his faith in life and in the eternal. Culled from three interviews
recorded on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Venturi and his friends
recall important phases of his career: his ties to Florence, to Renaissance
Art, and his profound relationship with his land, including Valdarno,
the Chianti hills, and the Tuscan Appennine region.
