There is no answer, it remains a mystery, an unknown that starts … Continua a leggere Diary
I’m re-reading the print draft of my new novel and I’m getting excited, for the story itself, but also because I recognize an increasingly mature style that does not betray the thought that feeds it but, on the contrary, enriches it with shareable meanings that build bridges in the stories between people and that tells something not only true, but of which each one can … Continua a leggere The Story of One is the Story of Everyone
Discipline must be imposed, especially to control nerves, tensions, fears.We live with anxieties and expectations, it is not an anomalous fact, but each anxiety should be given the frame it deserves, preventing it from expanding beyond illegitimate and predatory borders.Yet, often, while there are those who manage to control their anxiety to the point of almost suppressing it from sight, there are, on the contrary, … Continua a leggere Discipline Your Anxiety
Joviality, since closing oneself in gloom does not soothe suffering, but annihilates the person. Joviality is an attitude of the soul that does not erase pain, but supports one’s own courage while encouraging the gaze of others to understand (cum prehendere, take together, embrace). Giovialità, poiché chiudersi nella cupezza non lenisce la sofferenza, ma annienta la persona. Giovialità è un atteggiamento dell’anima che non cancella … Continua a leggere Giovialità
Things could be simpler and more linear if we concentrated on the essence and not on the faded and dilated boundaries destined, fortunately, in any case to change, however much we try to imprint the strongest imprints to demarcate inner or physical territories.The essence, on the other hand, escapes us easily. The daily humanity of our life underlies and expels in hatred and indifference the … Continua a leggere What a Mess!

There is no surrender in the panorama of my essence and neither the difficulties of my path which, like the path of anyone who chooses to remain honest is often a difficult and solitary path, give up.Yet, it is precisely that absolute lack of surrender that makes the conviction stronger and the path more stable despite the anxieties and worries that cannot be lacking and … Continua a leggere Keep the Moon by Your Side
picture by Andrea Morra Life is a beautiful adventure, the best thing is that that adventure is yours.I mean, it depends on who lives his/her life to choose how to live it, even when external conditioning can weigh a lot and even when their ambitions would lead elsewhere.It is not that we should “be satisfied” with a sad and resigned tone, but we must also … Continua a leggere The Adventure of Life
It is not a lesson in literature as I have done so many times in my past in the study courses of the History of English literature, but it is a lesson in humanity … mind you, I am not giving it, I do not have this great claim, but William Shakespeare himself is offering it to us, certainly unaware of his lasting and eternal … Continua a leggere Shakespeare’s Human Heritage
Writing is the voice of my hope, of my active hope, since no hope can only be chimera and dispersion of thought. Hope is active to the extent that each in the way and in accordance with its own style, acts that hope that becomes reality or, at least, becomes a concrete sign in the common actions of their daily life.Writing, then, is the voice … Continua a leggere Writing Is the Voice of my Hope
