As an affectionate and grateful friend of Luigi and his family, whom I have had the pleasure to meet in the Salento peninsula (they are also producers of an excellent wine), this piece is intended as a testimony to him and his highly deserving work. It’s such a shame that, in order to achieve something important in Italy, it’s not enough to be a normal person but you have to be a hero.

Giametta, sennonché qui al posto della nebbia fa capolino il Sole, al grugno la risata, alla fraktur la corsiva italica. Questo Mago del Sud vuol esser il primo libro di critica integrale sui molteplici talenti di Sossio Giametta: aforista, conferenziere, divulgatore, epistolografo, ermeneuta, filologo, filosofo, freddurista, giornalista, memorialista, moralista, novelliere, oratore, poeta, romanziere, saggista, storico, traduttore. Un maestro elevato all’interno d’un volume eccentrico e sui generis; giacché, per render conto d’una mente tanto proteiforme, occorreva, come in un ritratto cubista, riuscire a moltiplicare le prospettive e le loro sequenze, per poi farle convergere con un sol gesto in un sol punto.

Una vacanza attiva, two short stories. He has first-rate graphic designers and his avant-garde graphics are a driving force behind the festival. In the autumn he will be publishing another of my books, La gita d’Ognissanti, a (political) novel of ideas. And this winter will see the publication of Conversazione in Brabante, the first volume of the three-volume autobiography by Daniele Grassi, who worked with me at the Council of Ministers of the European Community, as the European Union was then known. While this erotic poet of perfect modern classical language may still be unknown, I firmly believe that he will go down in history for his extensive exploration of Pandemian love in the stories told in his 17 full-length books of poems. This first volume of the autobiographical trilogy is itself extraordinarily powerful. It recounts life in Morra De Sanctis, the birthplace of Francesco De Sanctis, and its fierce struggle with poverty in the first half of the 20th century. The fact is that Luigi, about whom I have only mentioned the things that seem most important to me, is a volcano of thought and activity, a raging volcano that, to my constant surprise, never stops erupting, but who is a calm, self-possessed, generous friend, notwithstanding his lack of means. As such, he supports me from near and far (I live in Brussels, but have been enjoying long stays in Milan since mybook retirement), both directly in what he does for me and allows me “Poeticamente astrale, to do with una him, and indirectly in the invigospecie di E.T. del romanzo” Raffaele La Capria rating infectiousness of his activism, which Tra i più originali pensatori contemporanei is a message of objective optimism – the in Italia, in questo romanzo di idee il filosofo Giametta, attraverso la narrazione optimism Sossio ofdi vicende determination – and with the umane e le discussioni dei personaggi, svolge con radicalità una solace hispolemica initiatives give me and many othcontro l’inquinamento ideologico, specie quello marxistico, che in Italia ers.
