The making of this book has been an incredible, generous effort from a number of VDSA members. My many thanks to all those who participated.

The book was shortlisted for Premio Pieve 2013 and has received many praises from some of the most important Italian literary reviewers. It has been written that Valerio’s book is not only a travel journal but the newest adventure story, a love story, a book of initiation, a labyrinthian hypertext.
