The Summer of Achilles

In the gritty underbelly of Milan, a successful car salesman's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious homeless musician beneath the Corvetto overpass. Drawn to the stranger's haunting melodies, he becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the musician's fall from grace. As their worlds collide, both men must confront the dreams they've abandoned and the choices that have led them to this moment. Through richly layered prose, Buzzi explores the delicate balance between artistic passion and practical survival. Set against the backdrop of Italy's vibrant music scene, this biographical fiction masterpiece delves into themes of identity, redemption, and the universal struggle between conformity and creative freedom. The narrative weaves between past and present, exposing the raw humanity beneath society's surface. What begins as a simple act of curiosity evolves into a profound journey of self-discovery. As the salesman pieces together the musician's remarkable history, he must decide whether to remain safely within the confines of his comfortable life or risk everything to pursue the authentic existence he once dreamed of. The answer lies in the haunting refrains that echo beneath the bridge, where two souls search for meaning in a world that has forgotten them.
