The County in the Fog

A small village dominates the Oglio river valley, once on the border between the Republic of Venice and the Duchy of Milan... its name is Barco and it is dominated by the castle of a branch of the powerful Martinengo family, for centuries masters of the "County in the fog". The documentary by Mario Bonetti and Giovanni Zanotti, sponsored by the Province of Brescia, offers a journey back in time, between the splendor of an ancient county and the end of peasant civilization. It tells the origins, history, art, present and future of a magical Italian village. From the voices of those who have lived in the country emerge unique and exciting stories that bring back old memories of a world that no longer exists.
