Zeno the Reckless
In 1923, Italo Svevo published "Zeno's Conscience." What makes that novel so special and relevant even today? Three characters: a writer (Mauro Covacich), a contemporary literature professor (Maria Cristina Benussi), and the curator of the Svevo Museum (Riccardo Cepach) in their Trieste, humorously ponder why such an improbable novel continues to be a reference point in Italian and international literature. The documentary was awarded Best Short Film at the Firenze Archeofilm Festival.
