“There are adolescences that flare up at the age of ninety,” writes the poetess Alda Merini, a woman who knew many things about time and the way it seduces. Domus is proof that Merini is right. Youth is not only biological, destined to disappear in a brief change of seasons. Youth is also spiritual, an attitude by which we persist in seeing the world with wonder, surprise and a sense of discovery.– Walter Mariotti on the special 90 anni of Domus
