...backlog is so huge that cynics have suggested that the mountain of undelivered mail be junked and that the post office start all over again. Someone in the system seems to agree: in June, Italian police discovered that 200 tons of undelivered mail had been sold to a Bergamo processing plant for recycling...

Zingone's heresy is a complete new city, now rising on 2,000 acres of faded countryside between two industrial centers, Milan and Bergamo.

The agony of modern death is shown as well: a Bergamo partisan hanged upside down by the Fascists, Pope John praying in the Vatican Palace before his passion, the body of a mother watched by her weeping child, or an incontrollably tumbling human figure dying in space...
