- Alex, a poor italian guy living on the streets of Rome finally realizes his dream of becoming a rap singer, known as Zeta. He will find himself in the world of hip-hop in a flash, having to struggle against the severity of the real world and his demons to discover what he really wants.
- In a small town in southern Italy, suspended in time and space, four strangers arrive for a desperate ransom from their sad lives. Dante, Gianni Agostino and Diego are four fools with the intention to steal the Saint statue of the town. But in a community where religion and ferocious superstition live in a precarious balance, reactions can be unpredictable, and very violent. It is too late when the four realize that they have made the biggest mistake of their lives.
- The story of the Perched Baron, the young rebel in 18th-century Italy who, at the age of 12, refuses to eat the snails imposed by his father's tyranny and takes to the trees, never to return, has enchanted generations of readers. When he wrote it in 1956, Italo Calvino was 33 and about to turn in his Italian Communist Party card, horrified by the silence of Italian leaders after the suppression of the Hungarian uprising - his own snails. Beyond this revolt, the young writer evokes between the lines a position he has long chosen for himself, halfway between the mute beauties of the world and the society of men.
