'Yes, the empire is sick, and, what is worse, it is trying to become accustomed to its sores. This is the aim of my explorations: examining the traces of happiness still to be glimpsed, I gauge its short supply. If you want to know how much darkness there is around you, you must sharpen your eyes, peering at the faint lights in the distance.'
[Italo Calvino, from "Invisible Cities"]

"Sì, l'impero è malato e, quel che è peggio, cerca di assuefarsi alle sue piaghe. Il fine delle mie esplorazioni è questo: scrutando le tracce di felicità che ancora s'intravedono ne misuro la penuria. Se vuoi saper quanto buio hai intorno, devi aguzzare lo sguardo sulle fioche luci lontane."
(da "Le città invisibili", Italo Calvino)
