Il Pilastro
Synopsis
The history of the Pilastro district begins in the '60s, with some council houses a few miles from the center of Bologna, built to meet the demand for housing for the growing number of immigrants in the post-war period. Under the shadow of the Virgolone, one of the largest residential buildings in the city, grows a neighborhood with almost 7000 inhabitants, often rising at the center of media attention for its crime sagas. Through the history of a neighborhood and its inhabitants, the film explores the relationship between city spaces and daily experiences, in a context where challenges and contradictions in urban development are evident.
