La vita come viaggio aziendale

Life as Corporate Holiday

Silvano Bignozzi and Lino Toselli are a special sort of travellers. In the 30 years the two top-notch salesmen from Bologna worked for the same company, selling grappa, sparkling wines and chamomile to coffee shops and restaurants in their sales area, they won 25 corporate trips to the world’s most exotic places.
This documentary about the journeys of the Bignozzi-Toselli team has lighter moments of Italian comedy in foreign settings, but also shows the darker side of package vacations and unsustainable tourism.
Morocco, Brazil, Thailand, Kenya, California, Mexico, Egypt, Bali, Santo Domingo—Bignozzi and Toselli have seen them all, yet what do they really know about the places they’ve visited? Had it been their own choice of holiday destination, neither would ever have set foot out of Italy. Yet they have ridden camels in Saudi Arabia, ogled topless dancers in Uruguay nightclubs, flown hang-gliders in Argentina and undertaken other improbable exploits offered by globalized adventure packages.

Il regista / The Director

Paolo Muran, Bologna-based film director, editor and director of photography, works for Pierrot e la Rosa, a production company where he handles documentary films. He debuted as director with Yes, it is (1992) followed by Verdiana, (1994), Vivere invece (2000), Chess and Chicken, and Viaggio in Irpinia d’Oriente. His films have been presented at numerous festivals, including the Torino Film Festival and DocsBarcellona.

“Starting from around the mid-1980s, my colleagues and I filmed Bignozzi and Toselli on over 15 corporate trips. It was an assignment commissioned by their company. Then, about 10 years later, the idea of making a film about corporate trips came to me. I instantly realized that Bignozzi and Toselli would make the perfect characters for the film’s narrative focus. I think we could say that the film is ultimately about tourism, or better, what is defined as mass tourism.”
