The former pilgrims’ hostel St. Florian near Laag/Laghetti in the municipality of Neumarkt/Egna is one of the locations where Bolzano/Bozen-born director Maura Delpero’s new film is being shot. Vermiglio tells a story set apart from the fronts of the Second World War that is both shocking and touching. In September 2024, Delpero won the Silver Lion in Venice for the film; in December, Vermiglio picked up a Golden Globe nomination. TAKE has sat down with the director for an on-set interview.
A quiet project, a local crew, and Maura Delpero, director and screenwriter from Bolzano/Bozen: from a mountain village to Hollywood, Vermiglio has truly come a long way. TAKE revisits the film’s impressive journey.
The IDM Film Commission supports a total of ten projects for the third, and last, call of 2024. They include six feature films, two documentaries, one TV series, and a short film.
