From the guide "ATRANI- a Mediterranean dream "
edited by Officine Zephiro.


The curve of the baroque steps that climb upwards to the Church . The railings behind the Church. The Ave Maria litany of the old people: in preparation for the first class of their passing. The church is circled , bound as God himself by the sea . The Christian era scores the rock every morning, but between the walls beneath the night returns each time to divide the four ancient Roman quarters . Alleys that are ventilation ducts. In the market square a fountain. Towards night ,the women at the brink . Then solitary. An archaic gurgling... Walter Benjamin
