ETERNITY 2
METAPHORICAL RUINS VISITED BY TOURISTS
BY ALESSANDRO BILOTTA
It comes to the second chapter
the new series dedicated to the events of Alceste Santacroce
set in the futuristic Rome born from the imagination of Alessandro Bilotta
On March 24th it reaches its second chapter ETERNITYthe new series of Alexander Bilotta, designed in this case by Matthew Moscow. Set in a futuristic Rome, the series tells the story of Alceste Santacroce, an elegant and somewhat snobbish journalist of a weekly gossip magazine. Between cinema, fashion, TV and politics, ETERNITY represents the fresco of a chaotic, colorful “contemporary Hell”.
In the volume entitled “METAPHORICAL RUINS VISITED BY TOURISTS” let’s delve into the story of Tito Forte: a man who was more famous than the six Presidents of the Republic who alternated during his television career. The programs he presented brought families together in front of the television and gave him everything he could ever want. But today his star no longer shines and a new transmission threatens to push him into the abyss on which he has kept his balance in recent years. A gossip journalist like Alceste Santacroce cannot hold back his curiosity: he approaches Tito aware that there is always something behind the life of an irreproachable man, respected by the God-fearing, disputed by priests and politicians. To accompany a myth that is sinking, however, you have to go down the slope with him, or at least understand when to stop. The ecstasy of a timeless and merciless city could grant no one discounts and leave one lost. Sometimes you feel the bitter taste of failure in your mouth. But when you’ve been one of the most popular men in the country, the road to decline feels like a cliffhanger. Tito Forte, this is the time to play your last cards, if you still have any left…
The introduction of the volume is signed by Alessandro Bilotta himself.
