Antonio Alizzi – Vite da funamboli

«The idea that through your book someone can take inspiration from the things we said it’s amazing».

From the interview with Andrea Bocelli

«Doing interviews is something I can’t stand because journalists make always the same questions. I saw you worked on it trying to be original. I really enjoyed it. Good job».

From the interview with Paolo Sorrentino

«I’ll tell you something strange: in my life I felt really free only in prison».

From the interview with Eduard Limonov

THE BOOK: This volume collects long dialogues between the author and important and talented international personalities of art, sciences, economy and sport. During these interviews, Alizzi asked to the interlocutors to reveal the most significant moments of their life, talking about their family, history, culture and important concepts such as crises and death. He asked them to focus on the impact of success and the effect of social recognition. Despite the differences between these artists, they have in common the same approach to life, such as the tightrope walkers towards the rope: by combining technique and courage, they manage to do not lose balance and keep on walking. Alone, on the top and clearly visible, they inspire and encourage those who observe them from below.
