At the edge of the empire
documentary short film / 2015 / 29’
Until the end of World War I, Borghetto all'Adige was the border between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italian
Kingdom. What has become of this historical place at the
feet of the Alps? Nowadays, the village is at the margins of
economical life and its strength comes from the community.
