* IN UMBRIA

     "As soon as he arrives in Umbria, the narrator embarks on a journey that is both sentimental and geographical, encountering in his path the ghosts or emissaries of those who have left their mark on this earth. The Latin poet Propertius, and his contemporaries Sandro Penna and Patrizia Cavalli, but also Suze Rotolo (and Bob Dylan), San Francesco, Jacopone da Todi, the Romans who clashed with Annibale's troops at Trasimeno, a faun at the sources of the Clitunno, passing through Alberto Burri, Byron, Carducci, the painter Dottori, the beat publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti: each of them tells a story, a part of oneself and a place in Umbria.
     From these intense, dreamlike, sometimes disturbing encounters, reflections are generated that go beyond the territory and make this book a novel about poetry, history, art, love, spirituality, life itself."
