We discussed that what could be the different perspective or lens did Calvino use for his writing “The Invisible Cities.” So for me, there could be a possibility that these are the imaginations of his childhood because how children imagine their surroundings is something relatable to this for me. Children imagine everything in a dramatic way, how their parents tell them bedtime stories. So they make their own world of imagination with those fictional elements. And their surroundings started to change as per the stories with the touch of their innocence with no specific shape and forms. So what if these are his memories of his childhood, how he looked to a place he visited. There is a feeling of nostalgia for me in his writing.
