| Summary: | "On the one hand, a difficult city like Milan, with its ragged shivers and its hidden beauties, on the other a writer and a painter, with their idiosyncrasies and their gaze. By subduing the city to the cross fire of their incursions, Michele Mari and Velasco Vitali fought, before their object, with their own mind, to free it from that habit and those perceptual automatisms that prevent the "vision." By approaching the squares, churches, industrial buildings, neighborhoods as it was the first time, Mari and Vitali intuited (in Latin, intuire means "seeing inside") the secret personality, sometimes the unpleasant charm: who would have ever thought that also Loreto square, like Berlin, has a sky full of angels? Non-touristic city par excellence, Milan has helped the authors to keep as far away from the spirit of a guide: consequently, they are not always the most famous places in the city to enjoy the greatest attention; On the contrary, there are the sentimental choices, those that make the Museum of Science and Technology or an old tram depot magic and discontinuous places to the urban fabric. So whoever goes through this book will have the impression of moving to an unknown city, a ghost town"--ibs.it (Internet Bookshop Italia). |
