Visioni d’Italia tells the story of someone who has never been to Italy, yet feels its presence deeply. Through desert landscapes, shifting colors, and introspective narration, the trailer follows an imagined two-week journey, one that unfolds not in cities, but in memory, emotion, and desire. The names of Milan, Florence, and Matera become more than places, but rather symbols of transformation. As the traveler walks, changes, breaks, and reassembles, Italy exists like a dream just out of reach. Never fully seen, but always felt. This trailer isn’t entirely about travel, but about the power of longing to move us, even when we never leave home.

I am a student at the University of Arizona double majoring in Italian and Computer Science, minoring in Game Design & Development. I have an interest in storytelling, game design, language, and visual culture, most notably where technology meets them. On my days off, I enjoy delving into comic books or classic literature, film, and designing experience-oriented projects that integrate narrative into design.
