Santina da Fusio
Santina of Fusio
Mirto Storni / Switzerland / 2009 / 49 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Santina’s “garden of wonders” is above Fusio, at 1400 metres, at the top of the Valle Maggia. Up there, Santina, tiny and energetic, with a vivacious expression and ready laugh, lives in a small house without electricity, television, refrigerator, or washing machine. A wood-burning stove is all she needs. She lives on what she produces in her garden, where she cultivates vegetables, flowers, and medicinal herbs, guided by the bio-dynamic calendar. In summer she scours the mountains for berries and herbs. In winter, she sews peduli, antique cloth shoes.
