Swiss portrait of Swiss architect wins award in Spain

The 50-minute film was made in 2007 in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Domenico Fontana’s death. Fontana was an architect from Ticino who worked in Rome and Naples at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century. Kestenholz received the award for “the objectivity and ingenuity with which he portrayed the transcendent figure of engineer, architect and urbanist who had defined the structural design of Rome during the baroque era.”



The Festival Cine y Patrimonio in Murcia, which was held for the first time, defines itself as the Ort “the symbiosis between cultural heritage of all designs and cinematic celluloid.
