Marco Albino Ferrari
La sposa dell'aria |
|
| Faced with the danger of the mountains, undiscovered precipices and the overwhelming dazzle of glaciers, Annette was nothing but a frail figure silhouetted on the edge of a vast sheet of paper. An insignificant life lost in that distant world which just a few hours earlier had applauded her. And yet she knew that she would make it. It was just a question of determination. |

Alessandro Carrera
La consistenza della luce |
|
| "In the suburbs where I was brought up, nature was building material that was given little consideration, seldom used and ultimately abandoned to perpetual transience. Order had to be sought elsewhere. Perhaps in writing, which from the outside appeared very limiting but from the inside seemed infinite" |
