The mayor Rosaria Succurro presented the official medal of the International City of Gioacchino da Fiore Award to the director JordanRiver, at the end of the screening, in Cinecittà, of the preview of the film “The Monk Who Conquered the Apocalypse”, dedicated to the life of the same Calabrian abbot, cited by Dante Alighieri in the Paradise of the Divine Comedy. «This work by Jordan River, which pays homage to Calabria and Sila, is a true masterpiece: it tells and expresses – Succurro specified – the greatness of Gioacchino da Fiore, his humanity, his interior and intellectual struggle, his ability to look ahead with a prophetic spirit. Congratulations to Jordan, because, with a cast of great professionals and with the collaboration of leading scholars, he has made a film, which was needed and which I liked a lot, destined to leave a profound mark for a long time. ». «I am certain – added the mayor Succurro – that the film will project the Florense abbot, San Giovanni in Fiore and our territory into the world».
