Description
Traveller extraordinaire Stefano Scanu was invited
to contribute to the book series “Piccola filosofia del
viaggio” [Small philosophy of travel] with the stories of
places that never stay “in place”, as ever-changing as
the wind, the seasons and the observer’s point of view.
Places like Mont Saint-Michel, an island or a peninsula
depending on the whim of the tide; like the cruise ship
Rochdale One, first turned into a student dorm, then
into a floating casino after docking in Amsterdam;
like the itinerant Royal Bank of Scotland in Plockton,
in the heart of the Highlands, one day here, one day
there; or like the colony of flamingos at Villa Invernizzi
in Milan, a flash of pink inside the metropolis…. Cities,
territories or spots that appear and vanish, elude our
attempt to capture them, and gracefully feed the
chaos of the world.

La Repubblica
A book that illustrates new existential horizons.
Io Donna
A small gem. A “lifesaving” booklet to carry in your pocket and to open at random whenever you wish to raise your awareness and spark your curiosity about the world.
