Marco Minghetti said:
In few words, this is the state of art.

In the October 2008, I've published a romance, "Le Aziende In-Visibili" (The In-Visible Corporation), inspired by the famous Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" . Le Aziende In-Visibili is a collective narrative reflection about the contemporary life in an age of enormous socio-technical trasformations. In this context the Corporation became metaphor of the nowadays human condition (as the Cities in the Calvino's Masterpiece). The romance is illustrated by 190 images by the great artist Luigi Serafini.

Le Aziende In-Visibili is written by me and The Living Mutants Society, that collects 99 personalities of excellence in fields of art, economy, entertainment, as Alessandro Zaccuri, Walter Veltroni, Paolo Savona, Enrico Bertolino, Aldo Bonomi, Valeria Rossi, Alessio Bertallot, Gianpietro Vigorelli, Gloria Bellicchi, Francesco Morace, Armando Massarenti, Pier Aldo Rovatti, Giulio Sapelli, all well known in Italy. Besides:

· The images by Luigi Serafini enrich the visionary spirit of the work, guiding the imagination toward surreal landscapes, as the typical SL ones;

· The work is the last product of a cultural movement born 15 years ago, The Humanistic Management, (http://www.humanisticmanagement.it), in which have worked artists like Milo Manara e The Nobel Prize Wislawa Szymborska (you could find in attachment a brief story of the movement in English);

· The romance has already found a first "translation" in the NOVA 100 blog-network (http://marcominghetti.nova100.ilsole24ore.com/), created by Sole 24 Ore, the most important European economical newspaper

· We have also created a Group in Facebook.

In this frame born the Web Opera Project. The graphic of the book in fact reminds a Companies Intranet, a sort of Tableau de Bord that supports the management decision with a lot (un)useful information, data, graphs and so on. In the wider side of each page of the romance you find the text of the narrative, in the thinner a "In-Visible Scorecard" that offers some indicator for its interpretation: the progressive number of each Episode, an I Ching Hexagram connected with the Episode, in the Boaz or Jakin version, a link with the original Calvino's text, and so on. Besides you can find the soundtrack that defines the mood of the Episode. In short you have all the elements for a screenplay: on this basis, born the idea of a Web Opera, on which some Sl artists have already begun to work: 128 videoclips, one for each episodes of the romance, 3 minutes length.

A Wiki-Opera that could be a "Manifesto" of all the artists that, in the respect of their own differences, accept to work together around the same ideas.

Unluckily for the moment we have only the Italian text of the romance but I hope that at the end of this month to have the translation of some episodes to offer to international artists that want to participate. For the moment I send you an unofficial pdf of the book that contains the Italian text (in a not definitive version) and a lot of Serafini's imagines.
