- Year 2013 - Duration 25' - Primo, 87 years old, was born, raised and lives among the chestnut trees in the woods on the Lucca hills. Every day he takes a walk in the now bare woods and thinks of times gone by where entire families, large and hungry, fed almost exclusively on chestnut polenta and boiled or roasted chestnuts. What was once his world today is almost unrecognizable and he thinks of a past that was made of simple and genuine things but also of hard work but not for this denied, it was made of habits, customs, never frenetic rhythms where work governed time and not vice versa. It was a world where people used their heads and arms, but above all their hearts.
