On the centenary of the birth of Italo Calvino, director Davide Ferrario will retrace the life of the writer, through the magie link with the cities in which he lived, worked, or from which he was influenced in his travels, ireal "Visible" cities and the "lnvisible" ones, fruit of his imagination. A unique and dreamlike world, invented for the famous book published by the Turin company Einaudi in 1972.  A creative mix of originai 4k footage, interviews and Calvino's texts narrateci by an actor will accompany us in the places, guiding us in the visible cities. The invisible ones will be staged in a more cinematic way, played by an actress who will move in abstract scenarios. These two dimensions will interact producing that sense of fantastic reality that is so characteristic of Calvino's work. So much so that the two levels converge towards a final that proposes a new visual and emotional leap: animation sequences will illustrate a "Cosmicomic" where an almost realistic New York projects itself in space together with the Moon and Utopia.
