Roberto Bolle moves between worlds that often ignore one another: dance, fashion, visual communication. This narrative of images and words reconstructs the way he has made them converse. It closely follows the journey of a performer who has managed to transform his role, taking classical dance beyond its traditional contexts and opening it up to a new and broader audience. A figure who, without ever losing sight of artistic excellence, has built a public presence that combines discipline with popularity, becoming a recognizable symbol of Italian culture abroad.

The images, captured by some of the most renowned Italian and international photographers — including Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Fabrizio Ferri, Mert & Marcus, Karl Lagerfeld, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Giovanni Gastel, Piero Gemelli, Mario Testino, Paolo Roversi, Gianpaolo Sgura, and many others — are accompanied by the words of Bolle himself, as well as those of friends, colleagues, and figures from the worlds of culture, theatre, and fashion, painting a complete portrait of a world-famous Italian artist and his extraordinary career.

This book was produced in collaboration with Artedanza Srl and the Roberto Bolle Foundation.
