  • Event location: Auditorium DAMSLab, Bologna

The last appointment, scheduled for Tuesday 27 May, is with “Vajont” (2001), a film directed by Renzo Martinelli. The work recounts the Vajont disaster of 9 October 1963, when a landslide from Mount Toc plunged into the dam's reservoir and caused an enormous wave that destroyed the villages below, causing thousands of victims. The film alternates dramatic reconstructions and historical images, highlighting the inadequacy of institutional responses and denouncing the human responsibility behind the announced disasters.
