La Leggenda

For the ones still wondering who is Mr Billi, I’ll bring a story that would tell more about his character.

Billi was born under the sign of Bartolaccio*,
when the Milky Way lit up the Romagna Tuscana’s Apennines.
It was December
and the planets crossed the iron path of the celestial vault.
He is known as the field astronomer,
and dualism is inherent in him from birth.
not coincidentally the legends tell that
he carries his cold heart
in a refrigerated van
through the roads of Romagna,
but that he warms up in intimacy
desperate for an heir.
he used to go on interdimensional journeys,
wrapped in fluttering tunics
and leather vests of yesteryear,
because they refer him to that Woodstock he has never known,
but which he feels close to.
Billi wanders in order to guard the green expanse
of which Cà de Monti has been part,
since time immemorial.
Maybe not everyone knows that
here
a membrane divides our world from the parallel ones
thinning
because disseminated by passages invisible to our eyes,
used by foreign entities
and often seen,
but never approached until today.
How many entities communicate with the land of Billi?
What worlds do they inhabit and what appearances do they take?
How do they experience this and that other space?
We will open the portals and see who will reach our space,
Then Billi will be asked to bring them back to the lands he observes
and walks, thus proposing other access routes to the places
and entities of Cà de Monti.
