La metodica dell'ombra is a text that aspires to plenitude through subtraction: contrary to what one is inclined to think, in order to give oneself breathing space, to feel deeply illuminated, one must not be dazzled by everything that, overbearingly, wants to impose itself as the only truth.
Rather, it is a question of listening to silence, the silence inhabited by a word that "mute vibrates / the song that was discovered". It is a question, in the very silence "of the March snowfall", of glimpsing that "restless" light that yearns to really shine. Here then - by way of deduction - oblivion is experienced as "memory of experience", in the same way that "archipelagos of clouds" ensure that "the vision is tinged in the round / with velvet that turns light as it darkens" (from Sandro Angelucci's preface).
