Paolo Fossati

And we summarize: first the places appointed, not only the issues or the reasons and there, in addition, materials and craft factuality.
Without surrealism to the gesture of sewing, marbling and building, Lastly, leitmotif, this built tautology, repeating on symmetric intentions.
Leap the book as it wishes, with symmetry, at the same point. A step from irony, and clearness (what kind of game is it to play if all is done?).
A step away from imagination. As in medieval fairy tales, when the narrator has to put the prince to sleep, he has to count hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sheep that go from shore to shore.
The first one passes, so does the second, the third and the fifty-seventh and so on; for who has the illusion that the fable does not have a bon mot ending, would be right.
