- The life of an extraordinary 90-year-old man: Dino Marinelli, the custodian of the Museum of his small italian town: Città di Castello, in Umbria. A true memory keeper.
- The movie tells the story of the keeper of a museum in a small Umbrian town. Dino Marinelli, a man of almost 90 years old who has spent a third of his life living alone in the municipal art gallery of Città di Castello, in the province of Perugia. Of very humble origins, simple, but at the same time out of the ordinary: from guardian, studying as a self-taught, Dino Marinelli over the years has become an appreciated artistic guide, a journalist, a poet and a writer, with more than ten books to his credit . Quoted by art scholars, by national and international newspapers, guest of TV broadcasts, from Rai to the BBC, friend of the artist Alberto Burri. In the documentary, which runs from the 1940s to the present day, amusing anecdotes, biographical stories and events from other times are intertwined with the memories, art, politics and history of Umbria and of Italy as a whole. Dino Marinelli never left the museum where he worked and lived for more than 25 years, but thanks to his verve and his passion he animated the rooms of that place and let the world enter it: over the years he has received millions of visitors and has frequented extraordinary personalities such as actors Massimo Troisi and Roberto Benigni and Noble prize Dario Fo. In the movie we also find precious archival materials, such as the Rai Teche archives and relevant testimonies such as those of the art critic Vittorio Sgarbi and the actress Valeria Ciangottini. A particular story that conveys a universal message of love for art and culture, a feeling that can save lives. Characters like Dino Marinelli, who embody the popular memory of our country, are a heritage to be preserved, symbols of an era that perhaps no longer exists, but that we want to remember forever.
