Venice. A document explores the intangible city through architecture and imagination
In 2015, Bruno released "Venice. A document," authored by Sara Marini and Alberto Bertagna, as part of the Carte Blanche series. This work delves into the city's intangible aspects through fifteen key terms, including "tra," "echoes," "nostalgia," and "modernity." Accompanied by Riccardo Miotto’s black-and-white illustrations and Sissi Cesira Roselli’s photographs, it reveals hidden emotions. Unlike Salvatore Settis's "Se Venezia muore" (Einaudi, 2014) or Giulia Foscari's "Elements of Venice" (Lars Müller, 2014), it emphasizes the spaces that connect elements, portraying a collective yet personal vision of Venice. Priced at €15 (ISBN 9788899058036), the book, with its transparent cover, embodies a broader critique of excessive determinism, resonating with Carlo Rovelli’s ideas in "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics" (Adelphi, 2014).
