"Varco Appennino Apennines passage is an exploration of the inner areas of the Italian Southern Apennines those hidden remote away from the clichés and chronicles that often characterize this part of the country. The work is a dialogue with the 'Apennines dictionary' of the Irpinian poet and writer Franco Arminio it develops from the often repeated phrase addressed to Donati too many times by the inhabitants of the small villages he visited: 'There is nothing here! Why do you come here' 'I visit villages to understand how they are doing. But even prior to that I visit them to understand where they are located: on a mountain or a plateau in a valley or in the plain. Villages speak as everything does and they speak primarily through geography. They are land to be read - even though they lost many words - and to be written about' Franco Arminio." -Publisher's notes.
