ON FEBRUARY 1, 1941, IN A DARK AGE, WHEN THE FURY OF WAR SWEEPS ACROSS THE LAND AND THE ANTIAIRCRAFT UNITS TEAR THE SILENCE UP THE SKIES, A YOUNG STUDENT OF THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES IN BOLOGNA SENDS A LETTER TO A CHILDHOOD FRIEND. HE TELLS HIM ABOUT THE EVER-CHANGING GLEAM OF DESIRE - EROTIC, PLAYFUL, INNOCENT - THAT KEEPS ON BURNING DESPITE THE UNSETTLING SHADOWS OBSCURING HIS PRESENT. AMONG OTHER THINGS, HE WRITES: “THE NIGHT I TOLD YOU ABOUT, WE SAW AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF FIREFLIES, THEY MADE LITTLE WOODS OF FIRE INSIDE LITTLE WOODS OF BUSHES AND WE ENVIED THEM BECAUSE THEY LOVED EACH OTHER, BECAUSE THEY LONGED FOR EACH OTHER THROUGH AMOROUS FLIGHTS AND LIGHTS”.

“Sometimes the word intimacy seems to contain a halo of meaning that brings it closer to a promise of authenticity, a protected space where it’s finally possible to touch the hidden truth of persons, beyond the uni-forms of appearance” (R. Màdera) But can we actually be in contact with our true self, moving away from the surface of things? Is it possible to think of intimacy as an access to a profound core of truth as opposed to the masks that mass society imposes on us?

"The list is at the origin of culture. It is part of the history of art and literature. And what does culture want? To make the infinite comprehensible. It wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as human beings, do we cope with infinity? How can we grasp the ungraspable? Through lists, catalogs, collections in museums, encyclopedias, and dictionaries. The list does not destroy culture, it creates it.” (Umberto Eco, The infinity of Lists)

We are fragile creatures, constantly exposed to the sense of limit. We tiptoe on mirrors that shatter under our weight. As we walk, no step comes without the risk of stumbling and falling. As we breathe, no breath comes without a shadow of vulnerability. We move, unstable, inside a transient horizon with no escape path. It’s this precise condition, though, that introduces us to the true meaning of our temporal dimension. What sense would our terrestrial transit have if it were not determined by time, but were infinite?
