Gazzetta d’Asti, featuring an article by Stella Palermitani, presents the documentary that unites Monferrato and Armenia in a single narrative of art, memory, and identity.

The article announces that “Gemina – Echoes of Identity Across Borders” will have its international premiere on April 21 at the Cinema Anteo in Milan during Design Week, following the press presentation on April 14 at the Teatro Alfieri in Asti. The film, directed by Asti-based filmmaker Alessio Mattia, is produced by the SiAmo il Monferrato association in collaboration with Fondazione Time2, Hayeli, and Nork Group.
