SYNOPSIS:
Even with her make-up running and torn clothes, you can see that Taranto is a beautiful woman.
Wobbling exhausted on the high heels of her rich history, she tries to resist the rape of poison and neglect. It is the city of the two seas and the sun, it is poetry suffocating under the rivers of steel.
Anche con il trucco scolato e i vestiti strappati, si vede che Taranto è una bellissima donna.
Traballa sfinita sui tacchi alti della sua antica storia, cercando di resistere allo stupro dei veleni e dell’incuria. E’ la città dei due mari e del sole, è poesia che soffoca sotto i fumi dell’acciaio.
