The fourth of a series of essays about the Alps as a center of European identity and the divisions between the countries that share the territory of that mountain range.
This essay follows the paths of artists, novelists, architects and filmmakers, who created and reenacted imaginary worlds around the landscapes of lake Como and the valley of the river Po. We are looking at the musings of Stendhal, Aldo Rossi and Luchino Visconti, among others.
The Portuguese newspaper Público is publishing this series of essays about art, architecture and culture I made with Tiago Silva Nunes.
