Le città invisibili
Synopsis
Marco Polo describes a series of fantastical cities to Kublai Khan, each more wondrous and improbable than the last. As the young Venetian recounts these urban visions, the emperor wonders if they are real places, echoes of Venice, or pure invention. This book invites readers to consider the myriad forms a city can take, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
