A work of poignant and delicate beauty, crossed by a feeling of nostalgia that colors the entire narrative, “The Water Pavilion” is, at the same time, also thanks to the impressions suggested by the Japanese philosopher Ryosuke Ōhashi, an interrogation on the meaning of beauty, identified as a link between the work and thought of Carlo Scarpa and traditional Japanese aesthetics, and an indirect homage to Japan which represented an inspirational universe for the Venetian architect but was also the place where he died, in 1978, the pinnacle of his career, mysteriously retracing the journeys of the wandering poet Matsuo Bashō.
Venice, as a gateway to the East and Scarpa’s birthplace, and the enchanting exploration of his works, are an opportunity to recall the poetics and emblematic episodes of the architect’s life, conveyed through the words of his son Tobia , of the students Guido Pietropoli, Giovanni Soccol and Guido Guidi, of the JK researcher Mauro Pierconti.
The nostalgia that lightly runs through the narrative and the filmic structure is “nostalgia”, write the two directors, “for that rare event which is the birth of an artist. Even though he has now abandoned this earth, he leaves as a gift his works and the wonder that they still inspire.”

At the end of the screening, the meeting and discussion with the directors Stefano Croci and Silvia Siberini.
