Born of mistral winds and witness to the birth of western civilization, the waves of the Italian coast have carried merchants, fishermen, travelers and kings. Preserved like a Roman ruin, the surf of the Italian coast now carries surfer, artist, and environmentalist Chris Del Moro on a pilgrimage back to his ancestral homeland to explore a culture where old-world-convention and traditional craftsmanship have matured into a modern surf lifestyle destination. It is what Chris finds in the beauty of Italy and the unique connection the Italian people have with family and tradition that reveals a greater truth. Illuminating to all, the prospect that in this modern-fast-paced-world, remembering where we are from and preserving the importance of culture are paramount. Captured in 35mm, BELLA VITA is an intimate journey of self-discovery, seeped in culture, tradition, and passion.
