The Hour of the Lizard

In Milan and in his artist studio, the eighty-five-year-old master talks about himself and sixty years of avant-garde art in a long confession somewhere between ironic and existential.

The title comes from a popular tradition from Calabria and the South in general, and from the recommendation that Rotella's mother made to the artist in Catanzaro in the 1920s, not to go out on sunny summer afternoons.
