Nicola's travel starts with university's books. After an intense student career, he understands it is time to take a first hand knowledge of that controversial Land, to walk on his streets, to talk his language so distant and unfamiliar to our background. How is a country that still has not delineated his own borders? How can people live among tensions and violent contrasts? Such questions pushed him to leave his beloved Mitteleuropa, without a clearly defined project. The discover begins with Tel-Aviv, where no East is felt and West seems to dominate people's life. In Jerusalem, Kippot and orthodox Jews pullulate reminding that Reality in this part of the world is always so variegate and fleeting. Black, brown, blonde girls, different faces and colours are all here to testify the complexity and multiethnicity of a world which, with the help of his friend and guide David, Nicola tries to run from north to south in order to understand it and to report it to us.
