Bar Sport, the wondrous background of Stefano Benni's legendary debut, never really closed. It lives on and on and on. And particularly in the mind of Stefano Benni, who returns to Bar Sport as if it were a matter of life or death. Yes, because this time the threat is real and the Montesole Bar Sport risks being eradicated forever: bulldozers, diggers and excavators are ripping out trees and other monstrous machines are threatening to impose the dictatorship of cement. Stefano Benni brings together a variegated, amusing and melancholic group of people to save Montesole: Grandpa the Magician, Piombino and Alice, Ispido Manidoro, a series of unforgettable dogs – from the phenomenal Fen to Billy the maniac – the great Omar, Ciccio Big Italian Boy, Tore the king of the web, Sofronia and Rasputin, the Trincone brothers, gnomes, the rural-brutal singer Strazio, Max "Massacre" Settecanál the hunter, Maria Sandokan… Just as in Margherita Dolcevita and in La grammatica di Dio, Benni overturns the genres and shuffles the cards: it is comic, poetic, epic, bitter and moving, but always when you least expect it.
