Abstract
Since the beginning of civilisation mankind counterpoised to its society another potential and utopian world - which is both happy and distant from reality - that has been adjusted to economical and political changes during the course of history. This genre has its maximum expression during the Modern Age, but in the Twentieth Century it is revised under a dystopian light. This happens in Le città invisibili by Italo Calvino and in Hayao Miyazaki’s film production. From the analysis of Miyazaki’s work from Castle in the sky and its literary sources the opportunity of building a cultural bridge between eastern and western sides of the world comes to light.
