Summary/Abstract: Reading is a very mysterious and complexed process. It’s a very creative act and of cognitive value, as well. No one knows what really happens in our minds while reading. Following the literary text can be compared to a specific journey. Theme of the Traitor and Heroby Jorge Luis Borges is a departing point of the presented text. Then, the author switches to The Spider’s Stratagemby Bernardo Bertolucci, the film, which is based on Borges’ short novel. And the final stage of this imaginary/real journey is Sabbioneta, very small lombardian city, in fact: la citta ideale,built in XVI century by Vespasiano Gonzaga. In this moment palimpsest-like narration of the article is fully completed.
