Other Things

Despite having studied Latin at the High School, my interest for the literature faded during those years, making it to my twenties by the virtue of my English teacher, the late Prof. Egilberto Petraccaro. It is thanks to him if I kept a fancy for the witty expressions, for the melody in languages, for rhythm and meter, and for expressing and understanding what's below the surface of a rhyme. Somehow, my taste for humanities stayed alive, though dormant, through English, to bloom again when the conditions were suitable for that.
It is no surprise, then, if I tried to write a few of my works in English as well, a language I very much cherish, but I don't feel so boldly confident as to use it in writing as I was in my youth: I can express myself and make people understand me, but writing at the level a writer should possess is a matter for a native speaker.
There are nonetheless a few works that I am quite fond of, or that came to me in plain English. Here I collect them, wishing that the English speaking visitors find them worth of their attention.
The themes of my writings are usually love, inner growth, re-evaluation of ancient myths, fantasy, and social criticism.
