THE
FORGOTTEN
A GLOBAL DOCUSERIES
(6×50’/season)
local revival, global resonance
uncovering the untold stories of forgotten places – starting with Venice’s last abandoned palazzo
Series Overview
THE FORGOTTEN is a multi‑season global docuseries (6×50’ per season). Each chapter follows a visionary protagonist and the artisans rallying to rescue a threatened landmark. These aren’t makeovers, they' are acts of revival that reconnect past and future.
With cinematic craft and intimate access, every season follows a clear spine—discovery → plan → conflict → reveal—under real pressure (time, budgets, politics, nature). The format is returnable and co‑production‑friendly, built for localization and scale, restoring places and rekindling identity and belonging in the cities we love. (Pilot: Venice completed)
Pilot: The Forgotten Palazzo
Status: Completed · Runtime: 57′ (standalone docufilm) · Master: 4K · Audio: 5.1 + M&E · Subtitles: ENG / ITA
Our journey begins in Venice. As the city bears the toll of time, tides, and mass tourism, one man’s quest to restore a decaying 14th‑century canal‑side palazzo becomes a reflection on memory, heritage, resilience—and the fate of one of the world’s most extraordinary, endangered cities.
His mission raises the larger question: can Venice reclaim its past to secure its future? Shot in lush 4K with intimate access to artisans and neighbours, the pilot is a true story of grit and vision—and a clear proof‑of‑concept for a series where local revival carries global resonance.
A first look at the palazzo’s haunting beauty, stakes, and tone.
