Morimondo

Morimondo is a product that has the following name repeated four times in its description: Morimondo. The Po, or Po without an article, is a great river and the quintessential one. It seems easy to locate it on maps, mention its history, but maybe we know very little about it. Knowing it means letting it appear where a world dies so that another can be born. Paolo Rumiz makes the Po a true protagonist, telling the story for the first time all along the water's edge, in an unprecedented sensory abandonment that is captivating and reinterprets the colors of the lands and depths, foods, wines, dialects, eyes that question it, touch it, look at it.

There are also encounters with the "people" of the river, but also with personalities linked by love for the river such as the place hunter Valentina Scaglia, the refined corsair Paolo Lodigiani, the Dantean ferryman Angelo Bosio, the image collector Alessandro Scillitani, the friend of the winds Fabio Fiori, the explorer Pierluigi Bellavite, the writer Valerio Varesi and the friend Francesco Guccini. What began as a reportage and documentary turned into a novel, an inner journey, an adventure carved in imagination, caressed by ghosts, just steps away from the soul.
