MONTEDORO

Montedoro is inspired by the true story of Pia Marie Mann, an Italian-American woman actually born in Craco and given up for adoption at the age four to a family in New York. The film relates this woman’s journey between two worlds: the United States and an archaic and magical Italy of the south. A journey that, through the search for personal identity, becomes a journey of reconstruction of a collective identity that by then was extinct. By following her biological mother’s trail, the protagonist unknowingly goes in search of her Motherland. Watch on Vimeo on-demand
