An outstanding glossy decadent video (directed by Sergio Attardo in 16 mm.) to promote “Aurora B.” was shot in an historical villa of Brianza. In the background images of the death of Ronnie Peterson flickered in multiple screens. The “quarrel” scene between Maurizio and Christina was shot in Milan’s Linea 1 subway.
