Page after page the cathedral of Milan reveals its beauty, its grand and often hidden complexity and its central role in the life of the city. The pictures are accompanied by an anthology of texts by great writers, from Stendhal, Melville and Dickens to Manzoni and Gadda, and on to Aldo Nove and Luca Doninelli: in the memories and dazzling impressions of these authors, who span three centuries of literature, one breathes the deep rhythm of a city and of its symbol. The writers also include Boito, Capuana, Heine, Hemingway, Henry James, Marinetti, Saba, Savinio, Shelley, Twain, Verga and Wordsworth. Light and form, and the way they change, are the common thread of the photographer’s work.
