Description:
"I could tell you how many steps make up the streets rising like stairways, and the degrees of the arcades’ curves and what kind of zinc cover the roofs; but I already know this would be the same as telling you nothing. The city does not consist of this, but of relationships between the measurements of its space and the events of its past...
"The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags, every segment, indentations, scrolls."
Italo Calvino, Invivible Cities, Vintage 1997
