Acknowledgements

Many thanks to Leah Marin for all her precision, diligence, and patience on proofreading and for her friendly and wise remarks (including her hint about Europa walking on the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald city). I owe a particular debt to Alessandra Pirolli for her meticulous editing of the bibliography and for her thoughts on the videos launched by the European Union during the 2014 electoral campaign. My gratitude goes to Timothy Martin, who helped me think of the Eurovision Song Contestl (and in particular of Conchita Wurst’s performance) in a new way. Many thanks to the anonymous peer reviewers who made important suggestions for improving my arguments.

I am grateful to Berghahn Books for embracing my project; to Sasha Puchalski, Rebecca Rom-Frank, Burke Gerstenschlager, Marion Berghahn for their kind and precious support and to Ryan Masteller for his extremely thorough job on the manuscript. I dedicate this book to my family—Antonio, Fiamma, and Lara—whose love, playfulness, and imagination have been vital for me.
