Metamorfosi – Storia di un canto del legno

The documentary tells the story of the Metamorphosis project, aiming to transform the wood of the boats abandoned by the migrants in Lampedusa into violins and musicaal instruments in the lutherie workshop of the Milano-Opera prison. A project wich is an instrument of hope to communicate through music a message of hospitality and of integration. The short film is embellished by the music of the Oscar-winning Nicola Piovani who composed the song “il canto del legno”, expressly for this project. Piovani's music, which is the soundtrack of the documentary, is performed by violinist Lara Celeghin.

The Metamorfosi project is promoted by the Casa dello Spirito e delle Arti in collaboration with the Customs Agency and Monopoli-ADM, the Ministry of the Interior, the Milan - Opera Prison.
