Cinema Italiano

"Before the low, miserable door stands a famous procession: the operator and his apparatus, the stage director with his glasses and his manuscript, and two actors: 'the lovers.'

"She, sixteen years old, blonde, bare feet and polished nails. He, eighteen years old, golden hair and muscular body. The old guardian of the wonderful garden growls from behind the gate.

- "Do you have a card to enter all four?"

- "One."

- "Two, says the blonde girl." 

- "Three, says the teenager."

- "Four, concludes the operator."

 The gatekeeper asks suspiciously.

- "What apparatus?"

- "The cinematographic apparatus. We come to film a movie in the garden and not to visit it." 

- "Okay. Come in."

"Here are the four of them in the secular garden: under the greenish vault a church nave stretches out, The ground is covered with blue sand. Not a flower and in the background an arc of light like the halo of a holy image. Neither dares not to speak nor to breathe. A peacock walks by indifferently.
