Description (in English): 

After Parthenope is a generative variable fiction set in Naples, Italy. A man and a woman meet in a Naples caffetteria. They have a conversation recalling the origin myth of the city. What follows is the man's memories, and they are never the same twice. The story cycles after a time, offering new variations.
