Assareto...the ghost

Maria finally finds the courage to ask Assareto the most difficult question: “What are you?” She can hear his deep, ancient voice, yet she cannot see him. Assareto is there, incredibly close, but he seems to belong to another realm. Before writing this scene, I visited Palazzo Assessorile in Cles to experience the story through Maria’s eyes. Their conversation takes place on the third floor, the very floor where mysterious presences are said to appear. As I walked through those rooms, I asked myself: if I heard the voice of a ghost, what would I ask him? Thousands of questions came to mind. What do ghosts see and hear? Do they perceive time? Do they remember their lives? Can they still feel pain, loneliness or love? What is the afterlife like? How much of our world can reach them? Many of these became the questions Maria asks Assareto in the film. As a medical student, she believes in science and in everything that can be observed and proven. Yet she is faced with a paradox: she sees no one, but a voice filled with memories and emotions answers her. Assareto and the Wax Mirrors is a fantasy story, but my reflections began with a scientific principle: energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only change form. This does not prove the existence of ghosts. It simply inspired a fascinating question: can human beings perceive every form of energy? Our eyes detect only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. We cannot see infrared or ultraviolet radiation, radio waves or X-rays, yet they exist. In Assareto’s world, ghosts may exist in a form that our bodies cannot naturally perceive—not because they are far away, but because they lie beyond the limits of our senses. Assareto tries to explain the true nature of ghosts to Maria: souls suspended in time, still present yet invisible to the living. Perhaps reality is not made up solely of what we can see. Perhaps the invisible is much closer than we imagine.
