I mangiafemmine

Just a step away from the elections, the placid victory of Valerio Corti -- Conservative strongman -- is undermined by a real epidemic of women, women murdered at home, by husbands, lovers, ex-boyfriends, women torn to pieces by devoted comrades.
But the prime minister candidate does not intend to deal with this, because women are always dead, because good, normal women, mothers of families, discreet girlfriends are not at risk.
Beyond any political strategy, however, it seems that the road to his coronation as prime minister is paved with blood, with public opinion demanding accountability and the few voices of women activists screaming for bloodshed.
But is there really an epidemic of women? Is there really a problem? And what happens when politics, an entire political class, a state, is unable to solve the problem?
With I mangiafemmine Giulio Cavalli signs his most radical and provocative work, with the recognizable style of a refined storyteller who is not afraid to tell about a world that is already there.
