Testo di Sara Bonfili Vi sono nelle Marche narratori che sembrano aver assunto l’insegnamento ghirriano del ‘pensare per immagini’, e che lavorano con fotografi di riferimento: uno fra questi è Angelo Ferracuti, che lavora con Mario Dondero dai tempi del settimanale de La Stampa, Diario, di Enrico Deaglio.
