Moderna” is a 91 years old lady. She is a bright woman, full of energy, full of life and with a great story to tell. A century, the twentieth. The Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (National Art Gallery) of Rome talks about itself: the evolution of figurative art in its historical context. A documentary of 30 minutes where the soul of this building takes shape into a body: the woman’s body. Filmed inside the Gallery, the documentary begins with the steps of the entrance of Villa Borghese in front of the building: a seven year old girl walks down the steps, crosses Viale delle Belle Arti and walking up the steps, enters the building. Together with the child there is the voice of an old woman who talks about her life experience from 1911, year in which the Gallery was built. During the movie the shape of “Moderna” is the body of a child, of a girl, then of a woman and finally that of the elderly woman who narrates the story. The journey of the works of art starts from Canova, then moves to Hayez, Sartorio, Balla, Boccioni, Dottori, Wildt, to Burri and ends in front of the “Three Ages” of Gustav Klimt which is not only one of the most important works in the Gallery but also the Synthesis of our story.
