The American dream is the basis of his great western successes, but Carlo Simi has done much more, translating into images, sets and costumes the culmination of America as seen by Sergio Leone (Once Upon a Time in America, 1984) and the equally powerful American myth of Pupi Avati (Bix. A legendary hypothesis, 1991). In this book, illustrated with plans, drawings, preparatory studies, architectural plans, photographs, frames, enriched by interviews and testimonies of the stars who knew him and by the descriptions that Simi himself collected in his diaries, he tells of the man who understood that in the celluloid factory a good story, beautiful lights, a great director and great actors, but it was also necessary to build a world around it. A world that really made you dream. And he built it. Carlo Simi has built something in cinema that will remain forever.
