Publisher Note
"Francesco Radino rediscovers Lucania, an Italy of Lucania which is a nativity scene, it is Homeric, a rough paradise, it is distance, distant air, a very slow rhythm marked by sun and stars and not by clocks, and finally it is tragedy. A crumb of pure, sweet Italy, as ancient as honey and like the bee that makes honey. It is of a very modest, hidden, harmonious happiness. It is uncovered under high skies that will finally explode. It is placed on violent planetary bowels, which in fact explode. But it is undoubtedly admirable that a man approaches a crumb of Italy from afar.
Many landscapes, many flocks, many clouds, many curves of paths must pass before the face of a man appears in Radino’s images. Everything shall be earth, at the beginning. Man, however tired and conditioned, is still a guest. Painful but almost incongruous, paying crazy duties, but always fleeting"
(from Arpino's text).
