Italian 3 D movie re-enacts Trasimeno battle between Rome and Carthage
TUNISIAONLINENEWS- A remarkable 3D movie screened on Tuesday at the 7 th international conference on Phoenician and Punic studies in Hammamet, retraces Hannibal’s journey through the Alps and his victory at the Trasimemo Battle in 217 BC where he defeated the Roman army led by Flaminius.
The film dubbed “Annibale al Trasimeno” was directed by Luca Palma and Ernesto Vigneri. The film was followed by a debate on the latest theories concerning the battle, which was used as a platform for a scientific documentary featuring the costumes and armors used at the time.
In an interview with TUNISIAONLINENEWS, Mr Giovanni Brizzi, who is in charge of the scientific documentation used for the movie, said that the paintings by Donato Spedaliere an Italian artist who accurately drew the costumes and armors, provided the basis for the video on the film.
He also voiced his interest in Phoenician and Punic history which is part of the larger Roman history, saying that he had studied all of Hannibal’s battles, calling him a “remarkable strategist”. He expressed the hope that history students will be able to take advantage of the film which is based on a great deal of research and historical investigations.
