SYNOPSIS

The show has the ambition of making known and loved the text that collects and formulates the values of democracy, and is inspired by some of the most beautiful and sometimes least known pages of Italian literature of the twentieth century, Calamandrei, De Luca, Fortini, Montanelli, Pasolini, Sciascia, Terzani, Vergani. An evocative title that comes from Carlo Levi, when he observed "in the appearance of Italy, not only the infinite particular realities, the innumerable individual lives and the fabric of existence, but all the memory in a face that resembles us".
