Piero Gilardi documentary premieres at CinemAmbiente festival

A documentary on sculptor Piero Gilardi, directed by Daniele Segre, premieres at the 26th CinemAmbiente festival, organized by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema. The film, titled "Piero Gilardi," debuts months after the artist's death. Segre, known for portraits of art figures like photographer Lisetta Carmi and critic Morando Morandini, first met Gilardi in 1980 in Turin. The documentary was shot in 2018 in Gilardi's studio in Corso Moncalieri, Turin. Gilardi, creator of "Tappeti Natura" and founder of Parco Arte Vivente in Turin, focused on the relationship between art, nature, and humanity. The film captures his role as a "maestro" who shared his art with simplicity.
