In the heart of Tuscia

Federica Bressan

Sinossi

A set of pictures taken over a summertime inspires a young woman to relive her relationship with an adventurous man with whom she explored the land of Tuscia, a territory south of Tuscany. As she goes through the pictures, she tells the story to herself and to the man, alternating between "he" and "you", past and present, as if constantly falling in and out of her memories, flickering between reality and imagination.
Every chapter is dedicated to a place in Tuscia, which the couple visits as their friendship develops into love and a path of personal growth. The last chapter tells of a tattoo, as if the body were also a place, where the symbol of this journey into the heart of Tuscia is indelibly written.
