"Inside this book - continues the famous actor and artistic director of the Fondazione Teatro della Toscana - there is a long part of my life. Telling it made me discover things about myself that I didn't even remember. Faces, voices, people who have accompanied me on an adventure that I would not want to relive in any other way. I really want to travel again.

Album Stefano Accorsi is a first-person account that traces the career of the Bolognese actor in a large-format volume, studded with an extraordinary collection of photographs, many of them unpublished and personal.
