His eye on a city that suddenly changes face rests on the details that make it unlike any other, and not only for its old and undoubted beauty: a personal and poetic view of the places told with irony and affection, moving from the transformations of the ground to the faces of those who live there.

The ordinary people who inhabit it and the well-known figures who stay for a short or a long while take in its climate, and become witnesses to the genius loci — whether caught on the edges of the city among the new suburbs or elsewhere.
