Una verde milonga is an utopian and impossible conversation—a polyphony of voices and echoes—meant to tell some stories of Venice beyond the paths of mass tourism.

Ten people of different ages wrote, and then received, a letter from (or to) the city of the future, creating narrative short circuits between transmitted memories and those forgotten or impossible to trace, between perceptions of elsewhere and imagined futures. They wove unexpected connections and chance references among diverse experiences of the same city, comparing and stitching together family memories and beloved places.

Una verde milonga is an utopian conversation recorded on an answering machine, where you too, if you wish, can leave a message.

A project by CORPS CITOYEN created as part of the Citizen Engagement (CC3) activities of iNEST Spoke 6, Tourism, Culture and Creative Industries, Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
