Antonella

She lives suspended between the Materdei district and the Fontanelle, a place that fascinates her like a nativity scene and has given her a deep sensitivity.

Antonella

For the past twenty-five years, Antonella has lived almost in a kind of limbo because of the estate where she lives: if she walks uphill, she reaches Materdei; if she walks downhill, she immediately finds herself in the world below, the Fontanelle.

Her father passed on to her a fascination for the Cemetery, which in her eyes resembles a nativity scene: a place of encounter in suspended time.

A sensitivity rooted in where she comes from

She has a particularly deep sensitivity, perhaps linked to the place where she was born and raised: the dead often come to her in dreams to reassure her, with a caress, that life does not die.
