Attesa di un'estate (frammenti di vita trascorsa)
Mauro Santini
There are various kinds of vacations: the summer ones with their lazy sunny afternoons at the end of August.

A school bus stops in the street. Behind the steamed up windows, among the children who are watching the rain, Giacomo surprises me with a look I know well, that of the photos of my childhood.

It will be a nocturnal wandering with the starry sky as a reference: an earthly pilgrimage looking for epiphanies or the drift of a hypothetical interstellar trip.
