Starting again with a bike trip” (2021, Alpine Studio).
In 2019 Saracca decides to make a drastic decision: giving up the certainty of a “permanent job”, of an economically fulfilling but morally sinking job, to seek happiness in the freedom of traveling by bicycle. When he is about to embark on a long trip to South-East Asia, the pandemic traps him between national borders: he decides to go ahead anyway, bringing out the so-called Plan B. B as Bicycle, faithful companion of adventures on his journey from Pescara to Santa Maria di Leuca, as well as the “engine we need to have a future, a new normality, the ready-made tool capable of giving us back time, space, health.” Saracca’s final hope is to “put our country back in the saddle”, putting people at the center, with their stories, dreams, aspirations, who from North to South are able to cooperate and mend our country.
At the end, the Marquis Lalatta will cheer up the audience with some anecdotes linked to the Oratorio del Romitoa wonderful place of prayer.
