Urban planning as an innate element of our perception of Beauty. Of redeeming Beauty. This is the subtle yet luminous line walked by the "Restart from the Future" project, the protagonist of the fifth mockumentary in the "Ventidue" series, the collective narrative curated by Nuvola TV and Procida TV dedicated to grassroots cultural and social initiatives promoted by the Municipality of Procida and included in the program for Procida, Italian Capital of Culture 2022. Filmed in the island's nightclub 404 Not Found, the narrative documentary will be released online on Thursday, September 22nd at 20:22 PM on the local television channel's YouTube channel (@procidatv). Subsequent releases will continue until the end of the year, with a fixed schedule of the 22nd of each month.

It draws inspiration from and builds on the project of the same name conceived by Farm Cultural Park, the cultural center founded in 2010 in Favara (Agrigento), to transform the depopulated city through urban regeneration projects and cultural and economic initiatives. These initiatives engage citizens of all ages and backgrounds—including immigrants—and generate the initial necessary income to attract artists and urban planners from around the world and bring young people back home after emigrating elsewhere. Renewable energy, new architectural and human forms, the rediscovery of the Mycenaean past, and the reclamation of places damaged by overbuilding and abandonment are just some of the themes developed by the island's children and young people together with designers Mario Cucinella and Marco Imperadori—a researcher at the Polytechnic University of Milan—the OFL Architecture and LAPS Architecture studios, the Analogique collective, and the Department of Architecture at the University of Palermo, directed by Maurizio Carta.

To give voice to the protagonists of this experience, in the role of a father conquered by the ideas of his children, is Marco Landola, 39 years old, from Procida, with a degree in Sociology of Communication and Media, with a thesis on the Neapolitan language in the theater and professional actor who he took his first artistic steps in the amateur dramatics of the island. «I liked the text and I agree with the aims of the project» says Marco who will make his debut at the Teatro Quirino in Rome on 11 October with the show “Il caso Tandoy” directed by Michele Guardì, with Gianluca Guidi. The tour will continue from 19 October to 13 November in Sicily.
