In the Life of a Documentary Maker: What Happens Behind the Camera?

To tell the story of our transhumance along the 240+ km of the Tratturo Magno, we set off armed with cameras, microphones, and geographic maps… all aboard a camper! To an outside observer, we might have looked like a film crew comfortably settled in our “mobile headquarters.” But anyone in this line of work knows the reality is quite different—comfortable is the last word we’d use! Our journey was anything but smooth. We didn’t just follow the tratturo from our vehicle; we also covered over 100 km on foot to document not one, but two transhumance migrations! As we followed […]

First-ever screening of Le Vie della Lana!

Satisfied Mode: ON! First-ever screening of Le Vie della Lana! In this photo, director Daniele Di Domenico, editor Matteo Santi, and composer Davide Caprelli captured themselves watching the first rough cut of Le Vie della Lana for the very first time. This first viewing was a mix of satisfaction, memories, and excitement: every scene took us back to those unforgettable days along the tratturi, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, authentic encounters, and the slow yet vital rhythm of transhumance. Editing the documentary felt like putting together the pieces of a puzzle—every shot found its place, and each captured moment added depth […]

Filming Completed? For Now!

Filming completed? For now! We still have surprises in store for July and August. Over the past month and a half, we have traveled through Puglia, Molise, and Abruzzo—three regions that have played a central role in the history of transhumance and the regi tratturi. Le Vie della Lana is a documentary born from the idea of telling the story of the Tratturo Magno, the great “green highway” stretching over 240 km. For centuries, shepherds have followed this route to move their flocks from the summer pastures of the Apennine highlands in Abruzzo and Molise to the winter grazing lands […]

Filming Has Begun for the New Documentary “Le Vie della Lana”

Hello everyone, You might have been wondering where we disappeared to — well, we’re back. If we haven’t been very active lately, it’s only because we’ve been hard at work. Doing what, you ask?

Our new documentary, Le Vie della Lana, follows the footsteps of I Giganti del Mare and takes us on a new journey—this time, on land and aboard a camper. We’ll be exploring the ancient “green highways” known as tratturi and meeting the people who still travel them […]

Do you remember the Giants of the Sea?

Do you remember our journey to the discovery of the “trabocchi”? The last time we had told you about them, we had just finished our adventure looking for the “giants of the sea”. It was a very challenging experience, and, at the end of it, it took a while for us to recover. We still had our minds in the middle of the sea… We were aware of the fact that we were just at the end of the first stage of our adventure and we were about to begin the second part of our journey, a different but exciting […]

The Giants of the Sea: we reached the final stage but the adventure continues

Dear friends our journey is about to end. We travelled 130 nautical miles, we witnessed the rage of the sea and we met amazing and unique people…faces carved by the sun and the sea, rough hands and an ancient knowledge that after more than 300 years is still alive. In the following months we will be busy with the post-production of our documentary, and we will do our best to visually translate the beautiful encounters and all the stories we heard, so that you can all feel the same emotions that we felt discovering the giants of the sea…
