The first issue of Sudario magazine takes its title from the ancient figure of the Ouroboros, the serpent that devours and regenerates itself. It is a symbol of cycles without end, of collapse that feeds new growth, of opposites that refuse to separate. This image gives form to the way we look at the Mediterranean today: as a space where catastrophe and survival are inseparable, where faith and cynicism, myth and infrastructure, ritual and violence, coexist in one continuous loop. The Ouroboros embodies this logic of resistance: destruction that is also creation, a circle that holds contradiction without closure.
