about

Emperor Constantine's dream was to build another Capital town across the Mediterranean Sea. A city of enormous artistic treasures, projected to the Empire's eastern borders, competing in beauty and power with the glory of ancient Rome. Above all, a place where everyone would be able to express their religious beliefs. The dream was called Constantinople.
This documentary features the journey - back and forth to the East and the West - of an expert writer and narrator (Franco Scaglia) with two famous Italian archaeologists (Andrea Carandini and Stefano De Luca). From the banks of the Tiber - heart of the Roman Empire's Capital -, from the courtyards of the Capitoline Museums - where the remains of the Constantine's colossal statue are kept -, the protagonists will travel to the waters of Bosphorus. Right above the ancient ruins of Constantinople today there is Istanbul, the Turkish city of mosques still retaining some of the spirit that conquered the Emperor of Ponte Milvio in the IV century AC.
Francesco Gazzara's soundtrack - exclusively in high resolution audio format - ebbs and flows between spirituality and an epic, sometimes adventurous feeling. The more orchestral effective numbers depicting the grandiosity of Rome and Costantinople alternate with suggestive and mystical moments where the melody and the arrangements suggest the complexity and the intricacies of the Roman Empire's eastern history.
The film was produced by Clipper Media with Rai Cinema and premiered on Italian national RAI UNO channel in 2014.
