The book consists of three sections. The first includes essays dedicated to Nespolo's works that fall within the visual arts. The second presents contributions that investigate his cinema and some of his films. The third section concludes the book with two interviews conducted at different stages of Nespolo's career, which tackle some of the key themes of his poetics, offering a direct insight into his theoretical reflection.
