Author's note: This is the product of too much thought about a choice in casting. And no, the cover is not A.I. At 1 a.m. sharp this thought was born at the shambles of Christopher Nolan's interpretation of the Odyssey. I give you one simple change in cast that somehow could change the whole plotline of the epic itself: What if Odysseus was Pedro Pascal? There is no man in this world who would cross four seas for a woman. There is no "he" that would win a war and wait twenty years before he gets to celebrate. But above all, one thing is for sure: There is no space for a woman in an epic for the ages. And yet there he is, mighty Odysseus: winner of wars, killer of men and sung about hero. From the top of the world he chose to fell for one woman. The only woman he loved. The favourite of the gods is hostage of his own accord, as she is, trapped in a palace she didn't choose to be in. Their story is one of enthralment, between themselves and against the world. Only when they lose what they think is for sure do they realise they have it. He kisses her right as he is about to leave for a war he will win in 20 years, and she realises she loves him only when he is about to die at her feet.

When art comes to life

A love story between timelines

Di giorno nessuno le sente. Di notte nessuno può fermarle. Quando il museo chiude, statue e dipinti si animano e raccontano la loro vera storia: quella che non compare sulle targhette, quella che le guide non conoscono. Tra amori mai confessati, imperatori, artisti, guerre e secoli di memoria, ogni opera rivela ciò che ha visto attraversare il tempo. Perché il marmo dimentica raramente. E la notte, finalmente, può parlare. Romanzo che procrastino da un anno ma è tornato a galla nella mia mente un dì di febbraio mentre visitavo i Musei Capitolini. Cosa succede quando i musei chiudono e i visitatori tornano a casa? le statue parlano tra di loro? Può darsi. E se sì, cosa si raccontano? Ho provato a dare una mia versione ponendo come protagoniste statue e opere d'arte di musei che ho visitato o che mi hanno particolarmente segnato. [copertina realizzata da @unakitsuneapesca]
