SYNOPSIS
During the economic boom of the 1960s, the tallest building in Europe was built in prosperous northern Italy. At the other end of the country, in August 1961, a group of young speleologists visited the Calabrian plateau and its pristine hinterland, plunging into the subsoil of a South that everyone is abandoning. Thus they discover with its 700 meters depth one of the deepest caves in the world, the Abisso del Bifurto of the Pollino plateau, under the gaze of an old shepherd, the only witness of the uncontaminated territory.

„The Italian Way“ Youtube Channel (My Camera …..my Paintbrush) is an iconic video magazine created by Simona Cochi, an Italian journalist and pr based in Milan.
Simona unveils the exclusive features of the most relevant events about Art, Lifestyle, Design, Fashion, and more. Art interviews are one of the keys to be seduced by „The Italian Way“ project.
The creative gesture of „direct capture“ (the camera like a brush) blends different and transversal elements and draws on the visual heritage, the digital, the sound in a field with still unexplored possibilities but which has the characteristics of a 21st-century Surrealism.
This editorial project has been conceived on Simona return after a year and a half of work and research in different European capital cities and iconic outposts.
Simona Cochi can claim international working experiences and an academic track record.
2017 – Simona Cochi starts her digital video magazine to adapt communication and journalism techniques to the new challenge of the 2.0 era.
In 2018, during her experience as a video blogger in Vienna’s museums, her definitive inspiration for surrealism was ignited through the work on the Man Ray’s show at the Kunstforum. Further creativity and motivation have been enhanced thanks to the researches on Sigmund Freud, the other eminent Austrian’s figure with significative traces of his life and works in Vienna.
The video journey started as „The Austrian Way“ inside the magnificent art shows in the capital city: Monet, Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Keith Hearing, Florentina Pakosta, and more.
The digital producer’s aim is to „paint“ the path of the art exhibitions with her camera, revealing an unprecedented vision, delivering new interpretative nuances of daily reality.
The images and comments of the Italian journalist are expressed to describe the emotions of art but also to portray the magnificent outposts of culture. Simona Cochi’s footages are often accompanied by iconic interviews from the event’s protagonist.
The beauty of a work resides in its visionary strength, in its celebratory capacity, in the alienating effect it arouses and this is what the spontaneity of the author often manages to convey.
