Intro

At Acitrezza, a family of shipwrights has been designing, building and repairing boats for navigation and fishing in the Mediterranean for five generations. They are the Rodolico family, men with proud faces and unique somatic features, custodians of an ancient knowledge that has been handed down unchanged for centuries. However, this "humanscape" is threatened by the local administration and bureaucracy.

The Rodolico Shipyard is not just a place. It is a collective memory, a living heritage shaped by generations of hands, stories, and craftsmanship. We refused to let it survive only as a commemorative plaque or a fading memory of the past. We believe tradition is not preservation alone, but the courage to begin again. Through this video, we sought to support the rebirth of the shipyard and restore it within the present. That is the reason why we launched a crowdfunding campaign. Just as it once was, when an entire community gathered to witness the launch of a boat, united by a shared sense of belonging, wonder, and pride.
