Summary/Abstract: “I was conceived in the mid-1950s in a humble Venetian hotel at the back of a train station, during a love escapade of my mother and her professor”. The presented text, written at the time of a suspension of the pandemic, is the author’s subjective perception of Venice (Cataluccio was Venetian by birth and a resident of Milan). This unique image, lined with personal emotions, is distant from Baedekerian obviousness. From time to time the vivid personal perspective contained in it is counterpointed by poetry (Josif Brodski, Tomas Venclowa) and drama (Simone Weil).
