In the Venice of the early eighteenth century, where music permeated every street and the Ospedale della Pietà shaped generations of exceptionally trained young musicians, comes to life 'Primavera', the new film by acclaimed opera and theatre director Damiano Michieletto. Inspired by the Strega Prize-winning novel Stabat Mater by Tiziano Scarpa, the film is a powerful and visually arresting portrait of a young woman navigating talent, identity, and freedom. 'Primavera' will be released internationally after already securing distribution in more than twenty-five countries.
