4th July 2017<\/div>
Shangai<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

China\u2019s largest city. A contemporary megalopolis of 30 million inhabitants.<\/span>
<\/span>From this side of the riverside Bund looks like a whole world perched on the Oriental Pearl Tower. Endless lights, in the rippling reflections of the Hangpu. Voices that chase and confuse, until they become a new language. <\/span>Can you feel it?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

6th July 2017<\/div>
Suzhou<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Venice of the East. Marco Polo described it in <\/span>Il Milione<\/span><\/i>. 350 stone bridges, 12 pagodas and 50 temples. But my destination is another: the Silk Museum. 6,000 years of history and processing of one of the finest fabrics in the world. This is where I see the Mud Silk, typical of the Guangdong region. Sophisticated, light, rare as a pearl.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

7th July 2017<\/div>
Nanjing<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Nanjing, a lost capital. . It lives in its contrasts. Cosmopolitan and commercial, with perfect and fast logic; millenary and stoic, in rites of gratitude and slowness.<\/span>
<\/span>It has its own rhythm, like the looms of seamstresses. Hundreds of hands in a row, under neon white lights, in the heart of an imperial culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

8th September 2023<\/div>
Saluzzo<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Middle Earth closes here, in the dark loop of a macram\u00e9 frog. A casket halfway between the head and the heart, where I feel the breath growing and sometimes missing. Of the East I love its meaning: to rise. Zhong Guo is rebirth, like dawn on a celebration day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \n
