The Unfinished Portrait: Fernanda Wittgens' Legacy in the Time of Fascism's Return The world premiere of "Anatomy of a Portrait" at Venice Days may have passed, but its themes remain as timely and haunting as ever.
Directed by Francesco Clerici and Mattia Colombo, this Italian Swiss co production weaves together the fragmented narrative of Fernanda Wittgens, Italy's first female museum director who defied fascism during WWII with courage and conviction.
Clerici and Colombo's innovative approach to telling Wittgens' story respects the gaps left behind by historical absence.
