Says the author: "Anyone who asks me what you think of this city always makes me answer that I don't know if Jerusalem exists and I add that it is the only one to show itself only to those who want. I don't think you can see her if she doesn't choose to be seen ".
As Giovanna Calvenzi recalls, for Lidia, “the journey is going to a place she does not know and where she recognizes the things she has never seen. Even if "the place" is his periodic destination. Bring back pictures. The basis is photographic but they are images, images of emotions rather than photographs. Lidia Bagnara's travels are mysterious. His images are mysterious ".
