This is the life story of Marco Carrera, known as Colibrì or “the hummingbird”: a life full of fateful coincidences, losses and stories of absolute love.

Il Colibrì is the story of the primal force of life, of the arduous struggle we all undertake to resist what sometimes seems unbearable, even with the mighty weapons of illusion, happiness and good humour.
