The collection of Paolo Mazzocchini is overwhelmed by questions about the human condition, dilated from classical literary allusions: from Ovidio, to Properzio, to Saffo, to Homer, to Heraclitus, in an orazian style satura lanx, a stylistic choice that allows poet to play on different registers, bending them to different meanings: from tragic, to comic, from sublime to sermo merus.

Tradition is not only present in the titles but is assimilated into the ironic, never end to itself or deconstructive, but in the profoundly human sense of sharing a suffering caused by the great mystery that envelops the existing.
