Quotes by Alessandro Leogrande (?)

“Le frontiere cambiano, non rimangono mai fisse. Si allarga l'Europa e mutano i punti d'ingresso. Scoppiano guerre, cadono dittature, esplodono intere aree del mondo e si aprono nuovi varchi. I varchi a loro volta creano un mondo, una particolare società di confine che definisce le sue regole i ruoli al suo interno.”
― Alessandro Leogrande, La frontiera
