Riccardo I (2026)
Through archival materials, the film tells the story of the bond between a man, Vittorio, and a boat, the Riccardo I. Their relationship develops against the backdrop of the profound changes that affected the Adriatic Sea and its coastlines in the twentieth century, marking the end of the ancient civilization of sailing. As a child, Vittorio was a cabin boy on his father's boat; in old age, he feels the need to preserve the world of his childhood. With stubborn determination, he decides to single-handedly restore the Riccardo I, the last vessel of its kind, dedicating himself to this endeavor until his death.
