The suburbs of 
Giovanni Testori A story of escapes, revenge and tragic heroism

What would the protagonists of Il ponte della Ghisolfa and La Gilda del Mac Mahon, among Giovanni Testori's best-known works, see today? Ultramodern skyscrapers casting their shadows over the skeletons of now disused factories. Gray slums in which new secret ambitions of glory are consumed. Sprawls of greenery and dimly lit alleys ready to host yet another youthful mistake and desperate one-night stands.  We will traverse streets and neighborhoods of a Milan that has disappeared yet is still alive in the voices of the Milanese author's characters, recreating that epic and decadent slice of life that many years later still fascinates us.
