«Bestiaries, Herbaria, Lapidaries» is an ‘encyclopaedic’ documentary, whose non-human protagonists tell about us humans. The film is divided into three volumes, each dealing with a single subject: animals, plants, stones. In this tripartite vision, each of its segment is a tribute to a specific genre of documentary filmmaking. Through the three volumes, a single dramaturgical body emerges, that stages a process of admission of responsibility, a process of maintenance and protection, and finally a process of rediscovery of a common and fundamental value: care.

"Bestiari, erbari, lapidari" was presented at the Venice Film Festival in September 2024, was screened in many Italian cities and won the Best Director award at the IDFA festival in Amsterdam. The directors present in this subsequent film some previously unseen sequences from this project.
