More good news for La Ricerca... The documentary featuring Luigi Lineri has won the Andrea Pazienza Award for the creative use of images at the 30th Libero Bizzarri Award.

A visionary journey where the director manages to bring inanimate objects to life through the voice of Luigi Lineri, who has been pursuing a very personal research for sixty years.
