On the Trail of the Young Pierluigi Cappello

Biographical Documentary | 2021 | 15 min

The challenge: explore the work and life of established poet Pierluigi Cappello through the eyes of the students in the last year of high school at the same aeronautical technical institute he attended when he was their age. A reflection on what poetry is today from the perspective of the generation that found itself facing the transition to maturity during the exceptional times of the pandemic.

“Sono rimasto solo / I remained alone
e di me resta solo lo scheletro / and of me only the skeleton remains
il mio inchiostro รจ disteso sul foglio / my ink is lying on the paper
e rappresenta la mia passione / and it represents my passion”

(Roberto Specogna, 5th AER B ISIS Malignani – Udine)
