    ENG

    The contrasts create reality, the most surprising, fascinating and unexpected. Shanghai is a place in the world that perhaps more than other hosts and enhances the contrast between tradition and modernity, the result is total involvement in his plots.

    The lines of the futuristic skyscrapers and the lines of electric wires and the rods for hanging clothes, the street food and the refined lounge bar, the bustle of the city highways and the silent utong, the flat and busy river and the forest of tall apartment buildings: everything contributes to the diversity, in contrast, merging in a chaotic harmony rich of investigation and never dull.

    Shanghai can not let that thinking about the future, not only Chinese, but of all humanity. Shanghai is the

    embodiment of an question, the man and his horizon.



    ITA

    I contrasti generano la realtà, quella più sorprendente, affascinante ed inaspettata. Shanghai è luogo nel mondo che forse più di altri accoglie ed esalta la contrapposizione fra tradizione e modernità; il risultato è coinvolgimento totale nelle sue trame.

    Le linee dei grattacieli avveniristici e le linee dei fili elettrici, le aste per stendere i panni, gli street food e i raffinati lounge bar, la frenesia delle autostrade cittadine e i silenziosi utong, il trafficato e piatto fiume e la selva di condomini altissimi: tutto concorre alla diversità, al contrasto, fondendosi in armonia caotica ricca d’indagine e mai banale.

    Shanghai non può che lasciar pensare al futuro, non solo cinese, ma dell’intera umanità. Shanghai è

    l’incarnazione di una domanda, quella dell’uomo e del suo orizzonte.
