Europe’s door

The Italian border of the Balkan route With the integral edition of Mauro Caputo’s film “No borders. Stream of consciousness”

By: Mauro Caputo,Donatella Ferrario

Whereas public opinion is focused on the landing of the migrants that cross Mediterranean sea in order to reach the Southern coasts of Italy, in the North of the Country, a thousand kilometres far from there, thousands of “invisibles” of the Balkan route cross the border through Trieste’s woods to silently reach other European destinations. This flow is constantly increasing, and it is testified by this unreleased reportage and by the expose that inspired it. A journey through nameless and desperate stories and their delicate international backgrounds. “Away from the media clamour, says the Italian director Mauro Caputo, thousands of people cross the Italian border, not too far from where I live, throwing away all their belongings, even their identities. There was the need to understand and tell this phenomenon, a moral and human necessity I could not back out of. Because we must not forget that all around the world, a person over 97 is escaping”.

MAN and SHELLS Molluscs in the History

By: Riccardo Cattaneo-Vietti,Mauro Doneddu,Egidio Trainito

Since the Paleolithic age to the present, molluscs - which include squids, octopuses and a variety of shellfish - have featured in different facets of our history. Yet much of this detail is either unknown or underappreciated. From the shapes and patterns in their shells, to their culinary, medicinal and scientific value and from their depictions in literature and religions, mulluscs in general, and shellfish in particular, have fascinated mankind for millennia. Man and Shells is a treatise on molluscs in our natural history. Readers will traverse through the journey by demonstrating how these organisms have accompanied humans in arts and culture, in ancient religions, the myths that surround them, their role in commerce as in dyeing and as currency as well as in aquaculture and fishing, and much more. Man and Shells helps us to appreciate these creatures that continue to have an important yet little known place in the cultural evolution of man through the ages.
