Italica 150

If "across U.S.A." means "from East to West", "across Italy" means "North to South" ...and without any mean of transport other than feet. We're talking about Enrico Brizzi, Italian writer and perfect mix between a modern pilgrim, and a kind of ecologic Kerouac.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italy Unity, Enrico Brizzi together with the trekkers friends of Associazione Francigena XXI, will leave from the northest point of the nation, close to Bolzano, and reach Capo Passero, the south-eastern extremity of Sicily, after a three months trip by foot.
Filmed entirely giving up unnecessary equipment and the crew that moved mostly on foot, the documentary gathers an excellent portrait of Italy in its 150th anniversary as a united country.
Enrico and LittleBlueFish Video Production wanted a fresh soundtrack for Italica150...and Ava Kant responded to the call of Uncle Sam ...sorry, Garibaldi! And so, along with other artists, we participated with three tracks!
Dancing riff of "Highwave Star" can be heard struggling for a mountain road, you can submit to the first tattoo reassured by spy theme in "Bucatini" or walking through several and several bushes in a jazzy-jungle track like "Play It Again, Tony"!
