  • Watch Online / Pratica e Maestria (2005)



    Desc: Pratica e Maestria: Directed by Rossella Schillaci. The Lucan bagpipe, legacy of centuries of popular practice and mastery, told by two elderly brothers, Antonio and Vincenzo Forastiero. The former is a maker and the latter a player, accompanying the spectator on an exciting journey of discovery of the instrument. Witnesses and interpreters of a culture that is still alive and felt in Lucania, the two Forastiero brothers offer themselves to the respectful gaze of the camera with pride and irony, dragging the viewer into a rarefied atmosphere, in a time marked by nostalgia for their fellow bagpipers disappeared, from the impellences of their daily life and from an almost childish curiosity for everything they don't know.
