Italy appears from above as a spotted body, a landscape of smudgy spots.

Its ancient geographical features have been alterated by a liquid grain of urban matter that climbed over saddles, invaded plains and filled up the valleys.

Generated by some molecular energy able to erase the border between cities and the country and  cancel the differences between city centres and outskirts, the Anty-city is spreading everywhere and transfigures a territory which we have inherited from the past centuries.

This book helps us understanding and containing the power of a social and political phenomenon that’s interesting us all. Because we are the Anty-city, whether we like it or not.
