GIOVANNI FRANCIA (1911-1980) and his contribution to the idea of a "Solar City"
20 minute-film about Francia's visionary project that he developed with his collaborators  in 1970 for a model energy-independent city, with a population of about 100,000, that would rely on solar energy.

POWER OF THE SUN (English with Italian subtitles )
This 56 minute-film by Nobel Laureates Walter Kohn and Alan Heeger tells the story of how the ideas and the technology to tap the sun's rays as a source of clean, safe, and renewable energy were first developed.
