Discovering Antananarivo

By Marcello Avallone

Discovering Antananarivo is a layered portrait of Madagascar's capital, where sacred hills rise above rice paddies, royal ruins overlook bustling markets, and everyday voices echo through staircases, plazas, and courtyards. This book weaves spirituality, nature, and urban language into a poetic narrative of contrasts and continuity, revealing a city that breathes between plateau and biodiversity, between ritual and improvisation, between memory and transformation. Antananarivo emerges as both ancestral citadel and chaotic cultural hub, a place where whispers, jazz, and resilience shape its evolving face and future.
