INTRODUCTION

Transmedia, a multifaceted experimental approach to read and communicate the beauty of a territory. Using traditional and new media tools, the workshop Italian Close-Up crafts videos to tell stories on the Lake Como, its richness in architecture, fashion and landscape.

The contemporary digital era heavily relies on transmedia: filmmaking, data visualization and interactive media design, to internationally communicate local contents and information. Communication skills today develop from a strong sensibility to details close-up. No place more than Italy can teach us about details and elegance in fashion, art, architecture, landscape and food culture.

Organized in Como, Italy, students of the two-week workshop discovered this city renowned for its lake, villas, food, silk manufacturing, rolling mountain vistas and serene beauty embedded in centuries of architectural marvel and masterpieces by modernist architect Giuseppe Terragni.
