Il giorno in cui mio padre mi ha insegnato ad andare in bicicletta
A childhood biography made up of words engraved on the cobbled lanes of memory, learning to ride the roads of the world. Valerio Aprea is the protagonist in this intense reading, based on the story by Sandro Bonvissuto, which explores the bond between father and son.
One summer afternoon, a father is teaching his son to ride a bike as the sun sets on life’s horizon. Based on a story by Sandro Bonvissuto, Il giorno in cui mio padre mi ha insegnato ad andare in bicicletta is the touching tale of a child and the small world that surrounds him. Above all, it is a lesson on life.
“When you start reading Bonvissuto”, comments Valerio Aprea, “you notice the way in which he blends plot and digression. Then you realise that ‘digression’ is not exactly the right word, because these detours are more like further examinations of the concepts on which the story touches. At a certain point, you realise that every one of those moments and those reflections concern you directly, because they speak of questions that you realise you have always considered but have never been able to formulate”.
