Irpinia 1980 Earthquake - Documentary by Lina Wertmuller

"E' una domenica sera di novembre" (L. Wertmuller 1981). Movie director Lina Wertmuller, the first woman ever nominated for a director Academy Award, filmed this shocking documentary in the aftermath of the 1980 Irpinia Earthquake in Southern Italy. For many of us who lived through that calamity this film brings a piece of our history, indeed the most dramatic and life changing event for our generation.


This saddens even more if we think how gorgeous these little towns looked from the sky, as in the short film "Basilicata Autentica" featuring Francis Ford Coppola and directed by Michele Russo.
