L'anno dei sette inverni (2021)

The period of COVID self-isolation of entire communities has remained suspended in the solitude of daily space: the perception of this absence appeared evident to the writer Matteo Righetto, who spent months in self-isolation in a refuge in the Fodòm woods, the valley of Colle Santa Lucia, near a mountain village inhabited by 400 people. The tie to a harsh, ancestral nature dominates the profile of a seemingly endless winter in which the writer develops new levels of perception of the real world, focusing on tiny phenomena, plant life, nature's rhythms that are disrupted daily by the Anthropocene.
