Passage based mainly on the two rhythmic cycles:21/4 and 17/4.After this trip Ulysses finds out that Itaca is not only a geographical place but a rich container of life experiences. And this symbolic place stands in the hearts of the people he met during his carthly stay.This musical excerpt actually embodies our real dreams honestly pursued by carthly sty. This musical excerpt actually embodies our rea dreams honestly pursued by Ilaria Alpi, RAI journalist murdered in Somalia. This passage is dedicated to her.
