Story
Two short fragments: an unfinished and a lost play. A Florentine Tragedy, left in a taxi (not a handbag), is Wilde’s most successful attempt at tragedy – intense and domestic, with surprising depth of characterisation. It was adapted into an opera by the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky in 1917. La Sainte Courtisane, or The Woman Covered in Jewels explores one of Wilde’s great idées fixes: the paradox of religious hedonism, pagan piety. Both plays, Wildean to their core, revel in the profound sadness that is the fruit of the conflict between fidelity and forbidden love. Written ...

Story
Le penne nascono lisce e solo lisce. A Napoli c'è la tradizione, che ormai ha assunto caratteristiche di vera e propria venerazione, dello zito. Lo zito è un formato di pasta lunga di forma circolare con un grosso buco in mezzo. Quando lo si spezza in due o più segmenti e lo si manda a svenire nell'acqua bollente salata, lo zito produce dei frammenti di pasta piccolissimi che non si buttano via, nossignori, che lo spreco è peccato mortale, e poi è bello stare ancora quei cinque-dieci minuti a tavola per ripescarli nel condimento.

Story
Sòglion dire, i livornesi, di lor stessi medesimi, che "a Livorno un ci s'avrà nulla, ma siamo tanto ignoranti!" E hanno ragion da vendere, costretti come sono a guardare il mare dagli scogli puntuti e malmessi della loro costa, unica consolazione per un popolo afflitto e miserevole. Rapidi all'ira, lenti al comprendonio, bestemmiator feroci de' santi e delle madonne d'ogn'ispecie, i livornesi son soprattutto poveri.

Story
The Voice in the Desert, beyond a skillfully written novel, is also a series of notes masterfully expressed by the amazing pen of Valerio di Stefano. Valerio, already author of several books, all of literary and philanthropic inspiration, is also a philologist, skill perfectly shown in this work. A work that is capable of completely immersing us in the illusory and, at times, oniric universe of Don Fiorentino, a parish priest of an unknown village who has a great passion: the classics of Italian and foreign literature.

Story
Ma bada d'esser breve e circonciso, perché i poveri lettori non abbiano a stancarsi troppo andando oltre la quarta pagina. Poi siediti e aspetta. Ah, e rammentati di firmarti con uno seudon... con un pseudononim... con uno pneumat... sì, insomma, con un nickname, ecco, adesso non mi veniva.
