Description

It is not easy to understand and accept the wholeness of the linking concept subtended by the word "Europe."

This volume is a very poetic dream: thanks to photography, it creates a composite scenery narrating a single identity, a possible Europe-city, having--despite its being subdivided in separate countries--an enclosing, recognizable, and shareable scale.

Marco Zanta invents this new European city that one day we will learn to experience as a common country.
