Overview:
The film tries to demonstrate the way to regain possession of the city not so much with physical interventions but with behavioral and mental operations.

Cinema for La Pietra becomes an indispensable means for analyzing and decoding the environment, recording the traces of an original creative activity, dismantling and reassembling the topoi of urban architecture, creating behavioral indications capable of giving life to "one's" city . (...) ". (Paolo Mereghetti, 1977).
