Malu Mantoan – Aglaura

Therefore, the inhabitants still believe they live in an Aglaura which grows only with the name Aglaura and they do not notice the Aglaura that grows on the ground.
And even I, who would like to keep the two cities
distinct in my memory, can speak only of the one, because the recollection of the other, in the lack of words to fix it, has been lost.
from: "The Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino
