Kalatalì
Kalatalì
A dream of a summer night, when the pink of the sunset gives way to the violet of the lunar night, while the hypnotic sound of crickets sweeps through the valley.
On the mountainside, the gaze sweeps over a silver landscape and the cirnecus howls at a giant moon, as if for the first time. Just as Kalatalì is our first red born from this enchanted land.
