Ever since the days of Homer and his Odyssey, travel notes have been turned into masterpieces by celebrated writers. Even short ones, of just a few pages, of just a short stroll, but always with a guide able to tell the stories of journeys and emotions, describing places and sensations. The pages of Pirelli <\/em>magazine were open to the greatest authors of the time, and it published numerous and illustrious examples of literary journeys. Like the slow walk of Piero Chiara<\/strong> one morning in 1962, with the works of Antonio Fogazzaro<\/strong> under his arm, through the silence and shadows of the Valsolda<\/strong><\/a>, between Lake Lugano and Lake Como: Valsolda, a \u201clure and sigh of souls in love, a solitary corner of dreams and poetry\u201d. In that \u201clittle, ancient world\u201d, Fogazzaro lived and brought to life the characters of his masterpieces. \u201cA city at sunset<\/a>\u201d, on the other hand, was Tuscania<\/strong> contemplated by Carlo Cassola <\/strong>in 1959: \u201cHere, everything is collapsing. Here, everything is going to ruin!\u201d, little by little, the tufa was corroding Tuscia, which was also being plundered of its Etruscan treasures by grave robbers. A little farther south, in the Fucino basin in Abruzzo<\/strong>, silence turned into cold and snow in the article signed by Ignazio Silone<\/strong> in 1970. In this piece, he speaks of \u201cbought bread<\/a>\u201d \u2013 the bread that used to be made at home during \u201cthe time of hibernation\u201d in winter, and that shepherds and farmers in Pescina now prefer to buy, because it costs less: \u201cpeople used to think about keeping supplies, while now it\u2019s all about money, everything is bought and sold.\u201d There is no trace of cold or silence in the on-the-road story by Renzo Biasion<\/strong><\/a> along the Apennine ridge in the Marche<\/strong>, in 1964: \u201cIf Umbria is made of silk, the Marche is made of wool\u201d. There is indeed an explosion of colours, from the cyclamen pink dresses of the girls in Montefeltro<\/strong> to the pinkish tinge of the clouds, the blue-green meadows, the yellow of the fields, and the white of the snows. From Urbino<\/strong> to Camerino, to the beaches in Numana and the summit of the Conero, everything is a curious and amused transition of people and landscapes. From north to south, Italy is portrayed in all its nuances by the masters of twentieth century literature.<\/p>
