Territori d'oltremare

Here poetry tells from the borders of the city, from inside cafes and pubs, from the depths of desire and solitude, and it continues to call upon the gods of ancient Greece, those who preside over ardour, but also over shadow and sadness. Here, on the path of the present, what belongs to memory continually surfaces amidst joy and dismay. We hear the noise and din of a metropolis crowded with a weary and anxious humanity. Throughout, the feeling of love overflows, twists, and dissipates in a fiery passion: only to be rediscovered and gaze upon itself as in an excessive, uncontainable theatre. 

The structure of each individual composition, the tense and precise word that yields to a controlled orality, the fluid compactness of the verse demonstrate major influences, also in the wealth of expressive tools and in the breadth of perception.
