Enzo Lamartora, born in 1965, lives in Naples. He is a poet – «Nel corpo tuo rimorso», «La dimensione della perdita», «It Was», «The autumn of Love» – and a translator of Sellers, Ritsos, Adamov and Grandmont; he has edited the journal of art, culture and reflection «Passages». Here he writes of the Fiat 500 as a memory: the car was for him childhood and ideal car at once. Childhood, because the Italians of his generation came into the world in it, as it were, slept in it, ate in it and dreamt in it; the ideal car, because no other car made it possible to leave the rural world of the time before the sixties and move to Naples, Verona, Milan, Turin and all the other cities. The volume was self-published in 2019.
