A film-journey into the art of Wolfango, born in Bologna in 1926, "the greatest living Italian painter", as Eugenio Riccomini defined him, who first, in 1986, convinced him to exhibit his works.

The film is also a passionate chorus of those who have known and appreciated it in the last thirty years.
