Summer reading: “Non è cosa” by Franco La Cecla and Luca Vitone
Eleuthera, Italian publisher, has just published the third edition of an essay by architect and anthropologist Franco La Cecla, titled Non è cosa. The present edition adds the “artistic path” by Luca Vitone.
The book focuses on how the world talks to us, through presents, alms, legacies, pledges, or even common objects. Our spiritual poverty is due to the oblivion of objects and of their influence over us. An anthropology of the present should start from these daily discoveries. Images by artist Luca Vitone represent a cpunterpoint to La Cecla's text.
Franco La Cecla, urbanist and anthropologist taught at Berkeley, Paris, Palermo and Bologna and is now Professor at Venice University.
Luca Vitone's works have been displayed since 1987 in many public and private institutions.
