Gipo, the gypsy of Barriera

But not only that, also intimate and personal objects.

He realizes that the box didn't end up in front of his shop by chance; someone (who?) delivered it to him and, at the same time, is inviting him to go on a journey in "search" of the chansonnier.

Initially hesitant, Luca decides to follow the clues found inside the mysterious package. He will then encounter characters linked to the Farassinian world and places in a hidden Turin unknown to most. 

Often catapulted into dreamlike and surreal situations.

AUTHOR'S STATEMENT

«Gipo, the Gypsy of Barriera is not only an attempt to rediscover the figure of Farassino, a native Savoyard Johnny Cash, an underrated artist often labeled with facile stereotypes, but also a journey to the core of a man's deepest nature.

A journey that constantly converges in the peripheral and popular neighborhood of Barriera di Milano in Turin, where Gipo was born in 1934.

A geographically limited but emotionally universal and unlimited periphery. An indelible place of the soul."
