AZZURRO

by CARHARTT WIP

Set against the backdrop of Gibellina Nuova, Azzurro presents an effortless blend of skateboarding, architecture and art. In 1968, the original Gibellina was destroyed by an earthquake, leading to a new town, designed by some of Italy’s most prominent artists and architects of the time. Chosen by Sicilian- born, Carhartt WIP skater Mauro Caruso as the perfect location for this short film, and lensed by filmmaker Ludo Azémar, skateboarding is both the focus of Azzurro and a method of exploring this unique town’s stark aesthetic.
