What is it about?
The work is structured into two clearly differentiated sections. In the first, entitled "Mudanza" (Moving/Change), the poet begins by observing scenes from the daily hustle and bustle to extract lessons on the human condition and the search for happiness. Through an acute and sensitive gaze, he transforms the seemingly trivial into a subject of deep reflection. The second section continues this inquiry, merging the musicality of language with a critical look at reality, always from a perspective that celebrates life without renouncing lucidity.
