Milan, a metropolis in Italy's northern Lombardy region, is a global capital of fashion and design. Home to the national stock exchange, it’s a financial hub also known for its high-end restaurants and shops. The Gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral and the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, housing Leonardo da Vinci’s mural “The Last Supper,” testify to centuries of art and culture.
Wounded Knee is a census-designated place on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 364 at the 2020 census. The town is named for the Wounded Knee Creek which runs through the region.
Bern, the capital city of Switzerland, is built around a crook in the Aare River. It traces its origins back to the 12th century, with medieval architecture preserved in the Altstadt (Old Town). The Swiss Parliament and diplomats meet in the Neo-Renaissance Bundeshaus (Federal Palace). The Französische Kirche (French Church) and the nearby medieval tower known as the Zytglogge both date to the 13th century.
Spira Mirabilis (2016)
In an abandoned theater, French actress Marina Vlady recites from Borges' classic short story "The Immortal" - Japanese research scientist Shin Kubota sings praise to Turritopsis dorhnii, the jellyfish capable of incessantly rejuvenating itself - the workers of the 600-year-old association to maintain Milan's Duomo subject the cathedral's exquisite statues to perpetual regeneration - Swiss musician/inventors Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer persistently refine the Hang, their pitch-perfect steel percussion instrument - Native American community leaders Leola One Feather and Moses Brings Plenty preserve the centuries-old spiritual resistance of their Oglala Sioux tribe - Award-winning documentary filmmakers Massimo D'Anolfi and Martina Parenti present a mesmerizing tribute to humankind's aspirations for immortality by showing us a portrait of our efforts to overcome (or accept) our own limits. They share their fascinating discoveries in a visual symphony to the power and harmony of nature's elements: water, earth, air and fire. From Milan to Wounded Knee, USA, from Bern to Shirahama, Japan, the traces of the filmmakers' travels spiral wonderfully into a symbol of perfection and infinity: SPIRA MIRABILIS.
