"Now and then I dreamed that I entered a square, and in that crowded square I found the people through whom I have lived my life: the living, the dead, my loved ones, friends, the many masters. A happy dream. That square has become this book." After telling his relationship with food in Ti mangio con gli occhi, Scianna returns to writing to tell, in words and pictures, the countless encounters of his life and the portraits that came from them. As in a huge virtual square we come across the faces of great figures (actors, writers, directors, fellow photographers, artists, singers, fashion designers), of his friends and closest family, and of ordinary people who struck him for a moment: Giuseppe Tornatore and Mario Monicelli, but also his mother and daughters, Paolo Pellegrin, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ken Follett, Toni Servillo, José Saramago, Karl Lagerfeld, Gianfranco Ferré, Alberto Moravia and many more. Each portrait is accompanied by a text in which he presents the person, tells the moment of the picture and his relationship with the sitter: more than 350 faces.
