Genoa is a city of a thousand faces. Those who live here know how much their soul, steeped in contrasts and contradictions, escapes any labeling or attempt at classification.
Genoa is sea and land together, it has a heart made of alleys, but the dress of the great noble palaces, is a land of fishermen, and home of wealthy nobles. Genoa is everything. And the opposite of everything. Here because Aspesi entrusted to Chlorophilla, visual artist and illustrator from Liguria, the task of telling it, of expressing her so multifaceted face from a less unusual point of view and making her known to the world.
Together with the Genoese photographer Michele Luigi Mulas, he mixed in his reportage-collage memories, inspirations, feelings of the places visited and the people met. The result is a journey through the pages of his artist sketchbook from which life stories emerge. Among these is that of Pietro Marencoretired, who in addition to being a grandfather dedicates his time to the care of an olive grove just outside Genoa or Tonino Lan Chan Pan, fisherman, who from China, his homeland, finds himself growing and living among the alleys around Piazza Embriaci. It’s still Caterina Roncati, The Witch of the Castle, who finds in her hands a legacy made of perfumes and olfactory magic, or Francesco Pisanithe tripe, which with its historic restaurant preserves the memory of the Ligurian culinary tradition.
Faces, tales, life stories of a city to be discovered and experienced for its undeniable variety.
