In the compositions of Mariateresa Giani, composed in the Nineties, there are still residues of that tendency from Ladolfi indicated as "twentieth century" (with the "n" minuscule), the tendency of the poem to "say herself", to seek rare atque inopinata verba or metaphorical arzigogoli, the result of intellectual research. But already in her the yearning for a return to reality can be grasped through a poem capable of speaking again of man to man.

In the age of spectacularization and commodification surprise texts such as these marked by a profound respect for this art, devoted to chiselling, in search of interiority, meaning, humanity, spiritual horizons.
