Abitare il possibile - Incontro con Eleonora Daniel

The meeting between Eleonora Daniel and Carolina Pacchi places a fundamental question at its core: what does it really mean to inhabit? Not simply to occupy a space, but to build an identity through it.

In the novel La polvere che respiri era una casa, Daniel portrays an intimate, imperfect relationship, in which the project of a home and of a shared life is interwoven with desires, expectations, and fractures. When the “we” begins to crack, the domestic space changes as well: the house ceases to be merely a physical place and becomes a reflection of tensions, memories, and inner transformations.
The dialogue with Carolina Pacchi, an urban planner and scholar of territorial processes, broadens this perspective by connecting the private dimension with the collective one. On the one hand, space as a representation of possibility, as design and construction; on the other, space as a site of emotional sedimentation, where experiences, relationships, and identities are deposited.

A two-voiced reflection on the relationship between image and authenticity, project and relationship, construction and transformation. To inhabit the possible, therefore, means recognizing that every space—whether domestic or urban—is alive: it changes with us, tells our story, and, at the same time, puts us to the test.

Eleonora Daniel was born in Milan in 1995 and lives in Rome, where she specialized in publishing. Some of her short stories and articles have appeared in «Doppiozero», «Lucy. Sulla cultura», «Altri Animali», «retabloid», and «Cattedrale». She is an editor and managing editor at Accento Edizioni.
