The film "Tresigallo, una costruzione" focuses on a micro-history in fascist Italy in the 1930s, in which a city utopia was to be realized and on the fate of the children of Italian colonists in Libya who were deported to this city.
 
After Edmondo Rossoni was appointed Minister of Agriculture, he began to "secretly" realize his alternative city model. Under the suspicious watch of Mussolini's secret service, he modernized the village of Tresigallo, where he was born - houses, apartments, streets and industrial plants were built. But the Second World War prevented its completion and the war also brought hundreds of children of Italian Libyan colonists to the town. Born in Libya, the children were supposed to get to know their home country. But after Italy entered the war in 1940, the children's summer vacations, separated from their parents, turned into several years of wandering from accommodation to accommodation in the country - they became victims of Italian colonialism.

Our view of urban architecture and the view of the fascist secret service stand side by side. Urban architecture as utopia and human destinies as victims of political utopia.
