The Italian Influence in the Moscow Metro
A documentary filmmaker and an animator from Italy joined forces to present an entirely new perspective on the capital’s metro in their video. They highlight the architectural grandeur, mosaics, and sculptures, emphasizing the artistic and historical value of each station. The familiar outlines of “Oktyabrskaya” with its Stalinist Empire style, the heroic aesthetics of “Mayakovskaya,” and the futuristic curves of “Maryina Roshcha”—all are brought together in a single video with an Italian touch.
