Franco Sartori - La città possibile

The story of Genoa in the last twenty years of the 20th century is told from the perspective of the trade unionist Franco Sartori (1941-1966). A city hit by the crisis of the big industries and the port, scarred by pollution and the lack of industrial policies. It’s in this setting that new political stakeholders have emerged: the “Donne di Cornigliano” Committee for Health and Environment, and Sartori, the man who saw in the west of Genoa the starting point to reimagine and build a new urban development of an extremely complicated area. The interviews, the archive footage, and the previously unseen images show us Sartori’s “possible city”, where in opposition to the concept of consuming land, investments feed the idea of a life driven by the need for real sustainability.
