‘GETTONE is that physical way of searching for someone. It is born from the memory of fingers that, upon leaving the telephone booth, still carried the smell of metal and cigarette smoke. It reaches for that precise place in memory where technology still had a scent. A voice needed a door to close behind it, a special coin to sacrifice, a number to be searched for among the thin pages of a heavy book, in order to experience desire, guilt, loneliness, forgiveness, love. Gettone is the anticipation before dialing a number while your heart beats faster. It is a closed door behind which you find the courage to speak. It is the memory of those fingers that, raised to the nose, smelled of metal and cigarette smoke. It is the humble coin of distance that made us feel rich. It is the memory of a world in which a voice still left its scent upon the skin.’ – Filippo Sorcinelli
