The Mount of Ants /Il monte delle formiche

Year2017 Duration63 min. DirectorRiccardo Palladino

For centuries, every year, every summer, on September 8th, swarms of winged ants travel to the “Mount of Ants” in Italy, where they mate in flight: the impregnated female ones create new colonies while the male ants die in the ground, at the foot of the sanctuary built on the top of this mountain and dedicated to “Our Lady of The Ants”. Tourists, curious and faithful who come to admire the singular event are witnesses of the mystery of life.
