Amatrice, the earthquake and the Christmas of hope. The restaurateurs who have reopened their restaurants gathered in the Polo del Gusto, a new beginning in the town destroyed by the earthquake on August 24th, 2016. The rebirth of Amatrice in a film about the project donated by Stefano Boeri Architetti, “Il Polo Del Gusto “, functioning since the end of July 2017: an area of 8,000 square meters of buildings dedicated to food, local products and conviviality: a new civic square that houses, in addition to the refectory, 8 historic restaurants whose headquarters had been swept away from the earthquake. An idea realized thanks to the solidarity of many: Corriere della Sera and TG La 7 have collected donations from all over Italy, the studio Stefano Boeri Architetti donated and coordinated the project, Friuli Venezia Giulia has made its operational contribution through the Innova FVG Consortium, with the modular prefabricated wooden elements of the Friuli Venezia Giulia supply chain. The video was made by The Blink Fish and has been published on Famiglia Cristiana:
