VILLA ROSA is an experimental short film embracing urban art, ruin, fiction, documentary, historical novel, photography, and so much more, without being able to be categorized in any of these. The events recounted mostly from 1943, when Foggia, an important railroad and logistics hub, was almost completely destroyed by heavy bombing by Allied planes. The estimated death toll from the bombing that year was 20,000, about one-third of the population at the time. At the same time, this beautiful villa (now abandoned) was being built in those years, and the name "Villa Rosa" is a dedication that its owner made in memory of his wife named Rosa, who died prematurely and never saw their mansion ultimated.
