Filmed in Russia. The artistic itinerary and life of Giacomo Quarenghi, born in 1744 in Capiatone of Rota Imagna (Bergamo), a fistful of houses linked to the outside world by a narrow mule track. He was summoned to Russia, to the court of the Tsars, by Catherine II, a great admirer of Quarenghi. In St. Petersburg between the end of the 1700s and the start of the 1800s, a great number of palaces designed by him are built. He is a lonely man, despite the fevour of one of the most scintillating courts in Europe which surrounds him.
