Fiore mio

Paolo Cognetti (Milan, 1978) studied mathematics, but during that study he realised his heart was more in writing and filmmaking. He completed his film studies in 1999, his first short story was published in 2003, and a year later he made his first short film. He achieved great fame with his first novel Le otto montagne from 2016, a story about the friendship between Pietro and Bruno, a city boy an equally old boy from a mountain village. In 2022, Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch adapted the novel to film: The Eight Mountains.

In his new documentary Fiore mio (My Flower), Cognetti returns to the Italian Alps, to the region of the ‘eight mountains’. In the company of his faithful dog Laki, he focuses his camera on Monte Rosa, the people who live there and how living in the mountains has affected the way they view life. But of course, Cognetti also has an eye for the breathtaking landscapes around him.
