Il girasole: una casa vicino a Verona is a Swiss documentary film directed by Christoph Schaub from 1995 .
action
The center of the documentary is a silvery villa on a reddish stone in the middle of a park. In the north of the Po Valley is the villa “Casa Girasole”, which can rotate 360 degrees around its own axis. The film takes a look at technology and is dedicated to late Italian futurism. The house was built by Angelo Invernizzi, a Genoese engineer in the 1930s and is still in its original state with the furnishings.
Reviews
"Schaub's film combines two things: a bold future space from the past and a nostalgic look back at futurism."
“With Il Girasole , Christoph Schaub also shows us pictures from Italy. This is an architectural curiosity. About a house by a utopian architect (...). Schaub only needs 17 minutes to show us this total work of art: a small masterpiece, the house and the film. "
"The short film Il Girasole - una casa vicino a Verona is a credible homage to the extraordinary house and its builder and conveys architectural and historical details as part of the artistic optimism of the thirties."
