A tribute to the imagination. An irreverent portrait. The narrative of the life and career of Gian Carlo Fusco ( one of the most interesting and unusual personalities of the twentieth century in Italy). Journalist, novelist, script-writer for films, actor and protagonist of the national artistic scene spanning the 50s and 60s. Fusco has been totally slighted and given the cold shoulder, even forgotten and ignored by official critics although praised to the skies by all those who met him in the literary salons of Italy, hailing him as the greatest narrator of all times. He died prematurely in 1984.
