At the end of the nineteenth century the engineer Evaristo de Chirico was commissioned to build the Milies-Volos railway to link the Gulf of Pagasae with Mount Pelion, “…a small narrow-gauge railway that connected that Argonautic port with the interior of Thessaly.” (A. Savinio). A video performance made on the tracks of Evaristo’s train, dedicated to the landscape of the childhood of two twentieth-century artist brothers, Alberto Savinio and Giorgio de Chirico.
