Beautiful review, flowing; I agree with your rating: 3.49999999 for me as well. Stunning "Five To One."

Are you sure that the Doors no longer exist because they are "pressured by mainstream commercialism"? I thought I heard on TG4 that the singer, a certain Jimmy Morningstone, had died. Anyway, it sparked a nice little page, sprinkled with the gems from COOLORAS and MANLIUZZO.

@Doctor: I would also like to draw your attention to the phrases "I really would like to know how old you are??" and "I lived my adolescence as Gredevo" and "you have not the slightest authority to judge me." However, even you, Dr. Fottermeier, shouldn’t refer to a gentle lady as "sproloquio della pistola"... or at least that’s what I infer from your Englishism "Gunrant"...

A simply outstanding review. Having read the book, I never knew about the existence of the television program. Great idea from Cugia and the narrative pace.

I agree with the previous posts: here I see hypocrisy in the sky, in a country that thinks about extending the hunting season (that is indeed a cruel amusement with no nutritional purpose), proposes to put weapons in the hands of sixteen-year-olds, devastates coastlines and ecosystems with concrete pours, and then points fingers at Bigazzi for "serious" and "immoral" things when THERE ARE still people in Italy who eat cat, just like they used to eat fried vipers in butter in the mountains decades ago. And another thing: in my opinion, some of us have even eaten cat because, if cooked well, those who have tried it say it’s not much different from rabbit. So nowadays, it would never occur to me to eat cat, but let’s not get scandalized on a social and environmental level in a country where there are beauty clinics for dogs and elderly people without pensions who have nothing to eat.

Great! Bea's review!

Well... here, first of all, I read a beautiful review, heartfelt and well-written. Then I see and look at a photograph of an actress, certainly important given the almost synchrony with her death, and from my point of view beautiful because it captures Monroe with her gaze elsewhere, the hairstyle of an afternoon at home, lacking the stage lights, there’s no flashy dress, no fatal diva pose. I repeat: I’m referring to the photo, not to the career or the fashion aspects of Marilyn. In the photo, I see the woman, not the sexy vamp.

Beautiful review! I saw the show but not in its entirety; however, Marco Paolini is an exceptional storyteller, and the emotions I felt listening to his "Vajont" are unlikely to be replicated. In many other stories and performances, the figure of the train appears, a symbol that Paolini has embraced since childhood thanks to his father, a train driver.

I instead possess a very modern random memory: I remember almost everything but at random, while on some days I don't remember anything at all, but also that randomly, so I don't remember that the day before I remembered more, or I remember that I remembered more but I don't know when. And that’s all I’ve said.

@DESFA-CAROZEE: "Fear Is The Mindkiller", beautiful. I also really liked "Demanufacture", then they pretty much flattened out.
