I Promessi Sposi - The Betrothed

A school project of the “R. Casimiri” secondary school, made in 2009 in my second year of high school: it’s a short film inspired by the popular “I Promessi Sposi in 10 minuti” by Oblivion, which retells Alessandro Manzoni’s I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) in English.

The video quality isn’t particularly high because all we had was an old tape camcorder.

« More than two centuries later, the story of Renzo and Lucia is still read by everyone. Three kids find the book in an attic and discover its fascinating plot. Renzo and Lucia, hindered by Don Rodrigo’s schemes, will finally manage to marry with the help of Agnese and Fra Cristoforo. This is the true story of “The Betrothed” by Alessandro Manzoni, condensed into ten minutes. »

I took care of video editing and post-production.

In 2014 the video was restored and enriched with new titles and graphics.
