Featuring 38 Italian prominent experts including anthropologists, architects, artists, nutritionists, scientists, chefs and other professionals that tell us about another possible way of life in a video series around Italy. The series, conceived by Angelo Gioè, is curated by Maurizio Corrado.
VISIONS because in the Anthropocene it is vital to start again to imagine not only other possible worlds, but above all new systems to survive in the only world we know.
VISIONS as imagination, project, utopia, desire.
VISIONS explores possible Italian ways to ecology, where beauty is constantly taken into account. The word lyfe refers to the new concept of life proposed by the scientific community to broaden the concept of life, opening new perspectives of thought.

Will we leave the earth, or will we learn to heal it? VISIONS put the question to three young Italian researchers, winners of international awards for their innovative research.
Mario Spera who is a young astrophysicist at Sissa, International School of Advanced Studies; Space Architect Valentina Sumini, who collaborates with NASA on projects for villages on the Moon and Mars; Silvia Marchesan, professor of chemistry at the University of Trieste who with her team is developing important applications in the medical field and in everyday life from the infinitely large to the infinitely small with research on nanotechnologies.
In a journey from the cosmos to the spaces in the atom, we discover how the Italian project culture is at the forefront both in the conception of extraterrestrial villages and in the design of nanoparticles.
Featuring: Mario Spera, astrophysicist; Valentina Sumini, space architect; Alessandro Vietti, writer; Silvia Marchesan teacher of Organic Chemistry. Music by Maurizio Marsico.
