The Nobel laureate’s candidacy for mayor of Milan becomes a lens through which to examine the crisis of contemporary politics and, in particular, of the left, struggling to find new answers to old questions.

Seeing Dario Fo, after a lifetime of social and political engagement, enter the electoral arena is also an opportunity to explore the civil passion and the private, human dimension of one of Italy’s most important intellectuals.
