Buried to kill
Thousands of tons of waste were buried in hundreds (maybe thousands) of different sites, scattered in every italian region. Now the routes for illegal dumping are shifting towards developing countries in Africa, Asia, in the Balcans.
Rare is the Earth
A.I. I bought a smartphone in August 2016. A shining extension of my brain, connected with the thunderous flow of the internet. It’s smooth and thin. A real symbol of ultra modernity. I would say it’s a “being”, born from human tought, even if in some ways it doesn’t look like earthly, intangible because of its intellectual skills. Is it divine? Where does a modern phone come from? Sure it comes from skilled technicians, sitting on a...
Sophronia, where fun is a serious business
The fourth of “Thin cities” is Sophronia. In the “Invisible Cities“, the famous book by Italo Calvino, Marco Polo describes this city as: “The city of Sophronia is made up of two half-cities.

In the “Invisible Cities“, the famous book by Italo Calvino, Marco Polo describes this city as: “In the center of Fedora, that gray stone metropolis, stands a metal building with a crystal globe in every room.
