Storie di Scintilla

by Kremo & Raskal, 2007, 216 pgg.
Artistic desires, alcoholic nights and unstable jobs, this are the stories of a group of friends in a Milan viewed from the backstairs. Among them there is Scintilla (Sparkle), who wants to be a photographer, such a lazy character that if it didn’t exist, it would necessary to create.
The situations, ranging from comedy to absurd, find their centre around Bar Meteora, an imaginary bar that should be found in Piazzale Corvetto as well as on the Navigli, a bar that during the day hosts old pensioners playing cards and at night changes skin and looks like the Milano by night.
It could be defined like a contemporary comedy, a black fairy tale or a picaresque novel. The book is divided into episodes, dealing with different stories by the same characters and has his own evolution and an exciting end.
