'Libretto is a composition of photographs by Paolo Roversi, which combines images of fashion, still life and nudes. As if in a fairy tale, together they form a magic and enchanted world of shade and light, shapes and colours, which transpires an atmosphere both dreamlike and bewitching. The emotion of a look, the sensuality of a body, the elegance of a movement leads us into the mysterious spheres of beauty.'
