La Sapienza is French-Italian dramatic film by Eugène Green released in 2015.
The film derives its title from Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza — a Catholic church built in Rome in 1642–1660 by architect Francesco Borromini, widely considered a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture.[3]
Synopsis
Alexandre a renowned architect, journeys to Italy with his wife Alienor after receiving a prestigious award, with the intention of producing a book on Borromini. Alienor meanwhile feels that her relationship with Alexandre is gradually slipping away. Along the way, the two befriend a brother and sister, Goffredo and Lavinia. Goffredo is about to embark on a course of architectural studies and joins Alexandre on a trip to Turin and Rome to survey Borromini's great works.
It is a story of the rediscovery of the joys of life and overcoming anxieties. Therein Alexandre realizes that Borromini was searching for the light that he must bring back into his life to rekindle both his architectural practice and his marriage to his wife.
