Con i piedi ben piantati sulle nuvole

Synopsis of Con i piedi ben piantati sulle nuvole

«Con i piedi ben piantati sulle nuvole» is Andrea Scanzi's travel book, published by Rizzoli in hardback (190 pages, in Italian).

Scanzi travels through an Italy in identity crisis and portrays those who, with their places and routines, sustain a form of resistance and utopia. The work mixes travel diary, political commentary and satire of customs; landscapes such as Marco Pantani's Romagna or Fenoglio's Langhe appear, and animals as a counterpoint to the human gaze.

Published in 2018; belongs to the «Saggi italiani» collection.

For readers of travel writing and political commentary with an interest in contemporary Italy.
