The Singer Stories. Journey among the Cantastorie of Puglia (2006)
"Le storie cantante. Journey among the Cantastorie of Puglia" is a documentary that forms part of a broader research project developed by the authors, tracing the roots of Apulian musical tradition—both written and oral. The journey begins with the imagined arrival of Aeneas on the shores of Porto Badisco. The path is shaped by the testimonies of singers of Southern identity, from Uccio Aloisi to Tonino Zurlo, from Enzo Del Re to the choral ensemble Cantori di Carpino, concluding with Matteo Salvatore. Alongside these performer-authors—cantastorie who can be seen as forerunners of modern singer-songwriters (as in the case of Salvatore)—stand contributions from ethnomusicologist and musician Antonio Infantino, director, actor and writer Moni Ovadia, Neapolitan jazz musician Daniele Sepe, and director and actor Michele Placido.
Directors: Nicola Morisco, Daniele Trevisi.
