What is an island? A piece of land surrounded by water, a fantastical and vague world that excites the imagination
of writers and travellers, a literary topic that crosses the centuries becoming a multiple symbol of rebirth and isolation.

Those who live it, those who cannot leave it, those who desperately want to reach it or find it. The island contains
in itself opposite meanings, it's a two-faced myth that changes according to the situation.
One traps in its enclosed space what one wants to exclude from society.

“No man is an island”, as John Donne reminds us, but a social animal that cannot be self-sufficient but needs a community to establish relationships, to learn, to evolve, to live.
