In Vittoria de Sica’s 1967 film, Giardino di Finzi Contini (The Garden of the Finzi Continis) , the garden becomes a place of refuge where a cultured Jewish Italian family in Ferrara retreats as the racial laws restrict Jews. Eric Finzi revisits memories told to him by his father and other members of his ancestral family. His paintings and sculpture have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide since his first show in New York in 2003.
