PORTO DI TERRA between words and music, towards the dawn of days - CLAUDIO TOMAELLO and STEFANO BONATO

Dettagli

"There are books that we have had for twenty years without reading them, that we always keep close by, that we take with us from city to city, from town to town, carefully packaged, even if we have very little room, and perhaps we leaf through them when it's time to take them out of the trunk, however, we are careful not to read even a single sentence in full. Then, after twenty years, there comes a moment in which suddenly, we cannot help but read one of these books of one breath, from top to bottom: it's like a revelation. Now we know why we treated him with so much ceremony. He had to stay close to us for a long time; he had to travel; he had to occupy a place; he had to be a burden; and now he has achieved his goal of his journey, now it is revealed, now it illuminates the twenty years that passed in which he lived, silent, with us. He couldn't say so much if he hadn't remained silent for all that time, and only a not very attentive person would dare to believe that inside there have always been the same things. "
[Elias Canetti]
