Presentation of the short film titled «Dove Dio cerca casa» (Where God seeks home), commissioned by the Italian architect Giorgio Trebbi to his friend Renzo Renzi, on the occasion of the celebration of First Congress on Sacred Architecture (Bologna, 1955). On it, a group of priests struggling to turn an old disused building as a church. Can also be seen the status of Bologna in the early fifties, with intense contrast between the historical center, seated, and the periphery, understood as mission territory. The situation was similar in other European cities of the age, and still is extrapolated to the current state of different metropolises across much of the world.
