Abruzzo and Molise Seen from the Sky

“Abruzzo and Molise seen from the Sky” is a vintage documentary, directed by Folco Quilici with text by Ignazio Silone, broadcast on RAI TV in 1970, taken from the series “Italy seen from the Sky”. This 4th of the 14 documentaries of the series focuses on Abruzzo and Molise, showing the rugged territory, solitary hamlets and ancient architecture of these two mountainous regions. The documentary was restored in 2006. The video (36 minutes in length), in Italian, has the Italian and English language text underneath.
