Italville

“A story made up of many voices, in which the authors ideally give witness to the peninsula’s jagged geography, trying to restore complexity to events that besiege the lives of their fellow citizens, and of course their own, events often indecipherable and lugubriously enigmatic. Writing, therefore, is a consciousness that seizes with an incisive glance even the more folkloristic phenomenon of our Bel Paese (Soccer, Crime, the South, Family, Religion, Television and Politics), returning them to a divided western context, based on precariousness (personal and otherwise), adrift formative centers (schools), urban solitude, loss of a sense of community. An ‘unpublished vision’ of Italy in action, with those who belong to its most immediate present and also create it.” —Lorenzo Pavolini, editor of Italville.
