Toni Castiglia, a former alternative rock sensation, journeys into Punica, a city both absurd and isolated, lowly and vibrant, fractured by ancestral conflicts and populated by smugglers, criminals, traffickers, sex workers, punk musicians, and rebels. Unexpected events will lead him beyond the great Punic wall into an unknown territory known as off-screen.

Punica Fides is a picaresque journey inside and outside a city abandoned by time. A constant yet irregular movement, aerial and underground, through its neighborhoods and internal boundaries which separate communities and delineate power relations. It is an immense diamond of a place, where one advances with the mysterious gait of cats and plays a game to try to break its rules.

On display in Squadro, along with all the original panels from Punica Fides - Andrea Bruno's latest book published by Sputnik, are limited-edition silkscreen prints created in close collaboration with the artist at the printing house located on via Nazario Sauro.
