a23a22A BOOK IS BORN
(Paola) - " Allo? Allo? Pronto, Gladys, Gladyyyys!! Pronto?Glaaadyys, mi senti? Pronto, come, pronto ? "
(Konstantin)- " AAAHhhh darling, for God's sake, please goslowly, watch out, aah, aah aah, this car is coming towards us! But what is she saying? Are we on time, will I havethe book on time? OOhh, go slowly, ah ah la polizia!!
P. (calmly) - "Gladys ? Vengo subito, pronto, Gladys ?"
K. (hysterically) - "Paola dear, what is going on, tell me,you must !! it's my book after all…, ohoh secours, piano amore piano !"
P. (driving very fast, totally ignoring la polizia, but stopping promptly on the orange light) - "Konstantino caro, dont worry, of course you are very late with your drawings, but we will have iton time, I promise ! "
K. (a little reassured) - " but what about the colors, willthey be able to correct them? Oh Paolina, I am freaking out ............"
Between fast drives through Torino, car races to Geneva ,long conversations in Franco-english, and Greco-italian, endless Greek lessons, delicious lunches prepared divinely by Mrs Gribaudo, extraordinary art collections,hysteric monologues, international gossip, and sentimental confessions, under theunique vision of Alberto Savinio, like in an commedia dell’arte pantomime, a Greek dramaor a diplomatic farce served with tortelloni, books are produced with style andpanache, impeccably.To make a book with Paola is not only a sure success, but also a real pleasure. There is only onecondition .One has to go to Torino to work closely with her, it is so muchbetter. Paola has no time limits, if she wants the correct hue of orange, she will wait atthe lab, for hours, even days, till they produce it. You can give her a drawing the nightbefore, the next day it is in the book. If you deliver, she will deliver back more beautiful ,and if you write it in Greek, she will give it back to you in Spanish ! Like a magician of theancient times, with dedication, experience, patience and supreme kindness, she willproduce an object that people call a book. I call it "Paola's gift", she has the magictouch, the magic stick. And if one is patient enough will leave thecrisp air of Torino and in the far distance white mountains, with a finished book in hissuitcase, and if lucky with a kilo or two of freshly made ravioli and delicious chocolates…" Allo, allo, Pronto, PROOOOOntooo, Gladys, GlaaAAdyyyys, tutto bene ? Vengo subito !!!!!!! " ( Paola is driving fast to the next project, towards the ice-blue mountains )- Proonto, Pronto!!!!!! Arrivo.............
