Di terra e fango (Of earth and mud) is the fruit of the creative exploration of one who was not afraid to play openly and plunge his hands into his own pain. It is a testimony to the fact that one can start again at any time in life [...]. At the cost, however, of looking fatigue in the face, the struggling parts of oneself, and of being willing to sink one's hands into the mud without half-measures, without compromises and reluctance, dropping the defences that shield emotions and stifle the freedom to be [...]. In fact, not evolving, as the author states, is a lack of life (from the preface by Maura Anfossi).
