L'Italia in cerchio
2010
Prototype games inspired by the Tour of Italy 1934.
A choral work composed by a series of games invented by a group of artists and friends who set out a different map of Italy.
The full game, entirely feasible in succession, is left to the public, along with dice, cards, checkers and rules.
The starting point of the work lies in the genesis of a game, made up of rules being drawn, close to sharing, testing, negotiation. Each player is expected to discuss a rule, to imagine a new one, to invent a plot, a possible ending.
