Cristina Donà's 'La Vela' Soundtracks Vito Palmieri's Film 'La seconda vita'

The film 'La seconda vita', directed by Vito Palmieri and co-written with Michele Santeramo, stars Marianna Fontana and Giovanni Anzaldo. It follows Anna, a woman with a dark past who moves to a small town and begins a new life. The film addresses social reintegration after incarceration. Its soundtrack features the original song 'La Vela', a collaboration between Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari and Cristina Donà. The music video, directed by Palmieri, was shot in Peccioli and Volterra, featuring inmates from the Casa di Reclusione di Volterra and residents of Peccioli. The video showcases the 'Presenze' statues, part of the MACCA (Museo D'Arte Contemporanea a Cielo Aperto) in Peccioli, which metaphorically parallel Anna's journey. Cristina Donà, known for her album 'Quinta stagione' and 'deSidera' (2021), has been active for over twenty years and is a reference point in Mediterranean rock. The film was released in theaters on April 4, 2024.
