Movie

Il barocco leccese

An experimental documentary short about Saint Cross's basilica of Lecce, Apulia. In 1968, Carmelo Bene made a deal with Nexus Film to shoot three documentaries. This is the only one that was actually made. He used the deal money to shoot his first feature Nostra Signora dei Turchi. It is still unsure if Bene actually shot the movie or if he just put his name on it to get the money.
