SEASIDE STORIES, a sequence of stories with different characters, with lightning encounters, short intense moments cut out of life, perhaps from those that we have all experienced, with our feet full of sand, with wrinkled skin on which the sun has dried the sea water , with the senses constantly perceiving, beyond the happenings, in the background, the lapping of the waves, the mirror of the water with its never-the-same hues, the horizon line, the stillness of the deep, the salty taste of the air, the smell of rotting algae and shells, the repetitive music of the terraces, the garish colors of beach toys.
The common substratum of the stories is that feeling of the seaside vacation, which is shared, although not always aware, by those who live near it, and those who return here year after year or at least from time to time.
And in all of them is the Sea, like a mythological character that fills all the stories with its meaning.
Seaside Stories make us remember our own pasts, long forgotten, and understand what keeps us or brings us back here.
