Elena Stancanelli Il tuffatore
In the diver coexist elegance and passion for risk. Raul Gardini had learned as a boy to dive from the Ravenna pier. Handsome, seductive, always tanned, heir-by-inheritance of one of the most powerful Italian industrial families, he had the ambition to change the rules of the game and the unscrupulousness to do so. Driven by the desire, by the obsession to go straight and faster towards the resolution of any problem. At any cost.
The story of an entrepreneur who left Ravenna to conquer the world enters the writer's life and memories, intertwines the songs of Fabrizio De André, moves against the backdrop of a Romagna province among Fellini's ghosts, heroic myths, sudden ascents and ruinous falls. All around, the dreams of glory of a country that looks at the man of providence first with hope, and then with suspicion. Until everything collapses. And the diver remains up there, alone, suspended in flight between life and death.
"They smoked because it hurt, because it was dangerous. It was a challenge and an erotic gesture. They smoked the bad, the tough, the femmes fatales. They smoked to be in the wild side of life."
