Anniversaries represent stories, places and landscapes, people, events and upheavals.

The past 100 years have seen the statuesque face of Pier Paolo Pasolini; the intimate paintings of Lucian Freud; Diabolik’s black balaclava designed by Angela Giussani; Enrico Berlinguer’s civil ethics; Margherita Hack’s stargazing; Renata Tebaldi’s angelic voice; Jack Kerouac’s soul stretched out on the road; Charles M. Schulz’s world of Peanuts; Stan Lee’s comics; Pierre Cardin’s foulards; Yitzhak Rabin’s commitment to peace; Francesco Rosi’s portrayal of Italian society; and the affectionate, lighthearted and humorous gaze of Ugo Tognazzi and Vittorio Gassman.

100 years of different worlds and icons—Salvatore Giuliano, Doris Day and Judy Garland, Susanna Agnelli—appearing as myths, words and visions—Maria Luisa Spaziani, Beppe Fenoglio, José Saramago, Giorgio Manganelli, Kurt Vonnegut.

100 years of history emerging through invisible ties, subtle energy, underground and augmented permanence, enigmatic resonances, historical riddles, symbols and predictions. They resurface as visions intertwined with science; they guide the gaze in cinema, literature, the arts, music, myths and rituals—speed, fantasy, major developments in mass communication, the universal loneliness of poetry. It is a distant past, so far and yet so close, begging endless questions—Leonardo da Vinci; Ludovico il Moro; Duke of Milan; Girolamo Savonarola. The power of numbers and coincidences.
