Welcome to the extraordinary world of Filmcards, a grand tourist project that will lead you to the discovery of the most legendary places in Italy and in the rest of the world.

It consists in several applications, creating a new kind of “guide-book” and aiming at developing, in time, into a through collection.

Filmcards is persuaded that such a guide, besides being helpful to the user to gather information, is mostly helpful as it offers the chance to get to know what one is going to visit by watching specific film clips.

As a matter of fact Filmcards’ guides include, besides written texts and photos of every spot of the town, original FILM CLIPS as well, often complemented by animation and three-dimensional graphic reconstructions, which are extremely helpful to the tourist both before and during the journey and will turn out to be a wonderful souvenir upon his return. Some of the guides, having a particular content (such as museums, archaeological sites, etc.), offer the chance of listening to the reading of texts – which can be started and interrupted at will – making them real audio guides.
