This short but fascinating document was presented at La Milanesiana, one of Italy's most prestigious cultural festivals. We were struck by Alda Merini's sharp lucidity. She was old and not perfectly groomed, but always attentive. Our encounter with her was a special occasion for me and Romano Gregorig, both funny and sad at the same time. Cornered in the tiny corridor of her two-room flat, we gazed curiously at the notes scribbled in pen all over the walls, from phone numbers to poems. We were fortunate to be called by a friend who had suggested proposing the project to the Milanesiana festival. And the best part was the way people laughed at the presentation—a tribute to a woman who, above all, was witty and humorous.
