The “Tre Salti” stream, with its fleeting beauty, becomes a canvas fon Marina’s (Martina Basilico’s) Bavarian daydreams. Meanwhile, Svaldo’s lens captures the hidden harmonies of this landscape, a subtle counterpoint to the characters’ tangled desires. A world of contrasts, where nature’s rhythms echo the dissonances of human longing.
Il torrente “Tre Salti”, con la sua bellezza fugace, diventa la tela su cui Marina (Martina Basilico) dipinge i suoi sogni ad occhi aperti sulla Baviera. Nel frattempo, l’obiettivo di Svaldo cattura le armonie nascoste di questo paesaggio, un sottile contrappunto ai desideri intricati dei personaggi. Un mondo di contrasti, dove i ritmi della natura fanno eco alle dissonanze del desiderio umano.

Architect Uggiosi’s “flexible” interpretation of regulations echoes a bygon era. The author’s own experience with municipal bureaucracy, having joined Milan’s city administration post-“Mani Pulite”, lends a bittersweet tone. A nostalgic nod to a time of reckoning, and the blurred lines between pragmatism and principle.

Cappuccetto’s declaration of independence echoes the author’s own struggles with inherited clutter. Nonna Antonietta’s hoarding habits, a mix of thrift and sentiment, often clashed with the author’s desire for simplicity. A generational divide, perhaps, or just the chaos of love.
La dichiarazione di indipendenza di Cappuccetto riflette le difficoltà dell’autrice nel gestire il disordine ereditato. Le abitudini di accumulo di Nonna Antonietta, un misto di parsimonia e sentimentalismo, spesso entravano in conflitto con il desiderio di semplicità dell’autrice. Forse si trattava di un divario generazionale, o semplicemente del caos dell’amore.

The beloved matriarch inspired this character. A woman of generous spirit, but questionable culinary skills. Her offerings, a mix of thrift and love, often raised eyebrows. Yet, her impact on our family is immeasurable. We wonder: who would we be without her? A question that warms the heart, despite the occasional digestive … adventure.

The tale’s genesis was a casual conversation with my sister Rosmunda (pseudonym), who asked for a party idea. I suggested telling a tale. Inspiration struck when I read Koyo Kouoh’s phrase:”don’t seek others’ castle, build your own house”. Memories of my sister’s illustrations of Little Red Riding Hood and a niece’s bunny-ears hat did the rest.
