Images, in black and white and in color, celebrate the Italian champions who managed to excel in this race, which is a real test of endurance, physical and tactical with the accompaniment of the unpublished notes of Maestro Rossella Spinosa for a new multisensory experience that it enriches the iconographic and musical heritage of the Digital Archive.
On the musical front, for this episode dedicated to the big climbs, music thanks to Rossella Spinosa will try to interpret the spirit of this race.
“The Great Ascents: the title of this movie (and the content even more) gives the idea of fatigue, effort, tenacity, determination. These are the 4 sensory stimuli to vision that I have tried to render also musically. It is once again a dense music, pushed towards the top, full of tension and deliberately “non-stop”, as is the race represented in it “.
This is the compositional choice of Rossella Spinosa, teacher at the Conservatory of Mantua, the Maestro has always composed music for silent cinema and to date has made over 120 film titles, becoming a reference point for film libraries, theaters and orchestras.
