A Ruota Libera – Storie Di Macchina E Di Uomini Imperfetti

Product description

A lively and ironic story that explores the surprising link between Sicily and cars, born at the beginning of the twentieth century with the arrival of Vincenzo Florio and his races on the Madonie, on an island that still had no roads.

In this scenario made up of contrasts – between sea and mountains, between refinement and neglect – speed has found space, creeping into everyday life with unexpected naturalness.

The stories collected in the book give voice to a varied humanity: mechanics, thinkers, eccentric enthusiasts, ordinary people.

All united by a barely hinted dream, which lights up on their faces in moments of celebration or in the most ordinary routine.

To embellish the volume, the color drawings by Valerio Spataro, which accompany each story with a poetic and engaging visual force.
