 How to reconcile fact and
fantasy? Since the book is dedicated to the legends of Lombardy and
deals with the towns and cities of Lombardy, the idea is to present
them as they are today by means of photographs, thus making the contrast
between reality and imagination something intriguing, seductive, almost
conspiratorial. The tales recounted here are curious, salty, appetising,
tempting, different. The stories and legends of this collection are
the result of painstaking research and the retelling of largely forgotten
texts. A journey into the wonderful world of the imagination to better
understand the wisdom of popular tradition illustrated by Piero Orlandi's
photographs; a real mix of past and present.
