The book opens the collection Literary Barcelona by Barcelona City Council, curated by Joan Ferrarons Llagostera, and explores the links between Italian culture and the Catalan capital through literature, the performing arts, film, and publishing.

The question haunts us all from a young age: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The first few times it is asked, the answers usually come in the form of police officer, firefighter, veterinarian, soccer player, or the recently added profession. influencer.
