Synopsis:
Matera and Venice, two cities that at first glance could not seem more different. One of stone, the other of water. One southern, the other Adriatic and Byzantine. Yet there are a thousand threads that hold these places together, and MaterVenezia. Story of two cities reveals them one by one, from beauty to tradition, from the loss of urban spaces to new immigrant communities, passing through little falcons, seagulls, and whale skeletons. With his syncopated and evocative prose, Andrea Semplici investigates places and people, history and environment, opening unexpected scenarios and questioning our way of living (or not living) cities, and the consequences that are already emerging.
