UK Premiere! ! In director Antonio Morabito’s masterpiece Carrara is the city of marble and the cradle of international anarchism. The title is taken from the incipit of the song by Leo Ferrè.
The film is dedicated to the memory of Alfonso Nicolazzi (1942-2005), publisher of the Federazione Anarchica Italiana (FAI) weekly paper Umanita Nova (founded in 1920 by Errico Malatesta), and focuses on two places that have somehow marked the lives of the anarchists of Carrara: the print shop, a place critical to the dissemination of ideas, and the marble quarries, where souls were marked by the hardness of work.
A publisher, a university professor, a sculptor, a historian and a typographer take the audience on a journey talking about anarchy, the F.A.I., departing from 1894, through major historical events including the Spanish revolution, the partisan struggle and the end of the Second World War, up until the present. They discuss neo-global and new-global movements, unstable labour, warfare, and the environment. Alfonso Nicolazzi, Gigi Di Lembo, Dominique Stroobant, Massimiliano Giorgi and Donato Landini invite us to a world that is often talked about in an awry way – or not talked about at all. The documentary poses critical questions on the relationship between anarchy and violence, anarchy and society, and between anarchy and utopia.
