Over the last century, Italy and Denmark have exchanged goods, produced films, commissioned sculptures, but above all they have hosted a community of people who have given rise to some of the most curious chapters in the history of the European cultural industry. The author has collected in a diary the encounters of the last twenty years of his life in Copenhagen, Snekkersten, Espergaerde, Humlebeak, Helsingør, Hou, Aarhus, Ebeltoft, Herning and Aerø, among many other places. It is the book of those Danes who have found tastes, light and compromises in Italy, and of those Italians who have searched for faces, words and inspirations in Denmark.
