This time I stayed in Milan, where I continued the conversation with Alessandro, italian documentary filmmaker.

This episode is in 2 parts: the first one was a lighthearted conversation during breakfast. Now it’s evening, we talk after a full day of work and reflected on dreams, what makes them happen and we talked also about memories that will stay forever.
