"There are days when the jealous beauty of this city seems to reveal itself: on clear days, for example, when the wind is blowing, when a breeze preceding the south-westerly wind sweeps the streets, snapping like a taut sail. Then the houses and bell towers take on a clarity that is too real, with contours that are too sharp, like a contrasting photograph; light and shadow clash forcefully, without combining, drawing black and white checkerboards of patches of shadow and glare, of alleys and little squares."
(Antonio Tabucchi, The Thread of the Horizon).

«He opened one of the turret windows. The landscape displayed all its beauties. Under the leaven of the strong sun everything seemed weightless: the sea, in the distance, was a spot of pure color, the mountains that had appeared fearfully full of ambushes during the night, seemed like masses of vapor on the point of dissolving, and grim Palermo itself stretched out calmly around the convents like a flock at the feet of the shepherds».

"Turin is a home city, as I have always said. So it has a heart. All its own, not too exposed, perhaps hard but consistent. The corners where this heart beats - perhaps a coffee, perhaps an old portico, a glance, a well-pruned tree - are not accessible to everyone, but anyone can discover them for themselves. Only you have to have a heart to capture other hearts."
(John Arpino).
