Diario dell'inaudito
Diary of the unheard
Alessandro Soresini / Italy / 2007 / 13 min / Colour
The place, Sottosengia, located near Fumane in the Lesssinia. The object, a local inhabitant’s diary, dating to the first half of the last century, found intact. The pages, written in “par roèrso”, or backwards, was a common technique of ciphering once used by mountain villagers. The diary reveals the unqiue genius of Giuseppe Marconi, known as Bepi Pessa, born in Cona. Though Pessa emigrated to Argentina, he returned seven years later and lived in total isolation, dedicating himself to an obsessive search for and recording of the earth’s hidden sounds. Filmed entirely in the Lessini mountains, the film is based on a story by Roal Dahl.
