Letter from Ilaria Salis from prison
"I fell into a very deep well, I wonder if I got out of it. But I have no doubt which part of the story is."
"THE months are long and it happens that the bubble turns into a black hole that I sucked at you. Borrowing a metaphor that I will read several months later in a beautiful comic dedicated to my events - he says Citing Zerocalcare - I fell into a very deep well.

Stories of a world in which children are still being killed, in which the quarters of Europe resound machine guns that echo the havoc of the last century.
Open her eyes and see me curled up on the grey blanket, with the Gaze fixed on the iron door of the cell. Everything seems simple to me and linear in these events, as in many others, there can be no Doubt about what the right part of the story is."
