"If I wanted to choose an auspicious symbol for facing the new millennium, I would choose this one: the agile, improvised leap of the poet-philosopher who rises up on the heaviness of the world, showing that its gravity contains the secret of lightness [...]. In his poetry [Cavalcanti], the 'dramatis personae' are more than human characters; they are luminous rays, optical images, and most of all those immaterial impulses or messages he calls 'spirits'. [...] In other words, we are always dealing with something distinguished by three characteristics: 1) it is very light; 2) it is in movement; 3) it is a vector of information." (Calvino, "Lezioni americane", 1986)
