HEATALY
Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, Italy lies at the heart of a Climate Hotspot, as identified by recent IPCC reports. With a warming trend more than 20% above the global average, the country offers a unique vantage point from which to observe the transformations pushing humanity toward an increasingly warmer world.
Heataly, a title merging Heat and Italy, is a journey through the contradictions of a nation in the climate crisis era. Iconic Italian landscapes like the snowy Alps or the lovely coasts become a mirror of a society caught between the romantic image that once defined its timeless beauty and a future demanding courageous choices.
Heataly portrays a country that still sees its transformation as distant, even as it unfolds, where beauty and vulnerability coexist, while global political uncertainty distracts from the great elephant in the room: the climate threat and the urgent action it requires.
