Abstract

“Stella del Sud” invites us to the discovery of Athens. We visit its old neighbourhoods and monuments, among which the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Plaka, few byzantine churches. The visit also sheds light on the culinary traditions and the nightlife of Athens. We learn about the restorations on Parthenon and enjoy entertainments of the modern Athens, such as the typical music played by the bouzouki, a traditional instrument. Serafeim Fyntadinis is interviewed and compares old and new Athens. Luigi Collacciani remembers his first time in the city and evokes its spirituality. Maria Loi talks about Athenian cuisine. Other interviews with a cobbler, a singer and a passerby.
