There are moments in life we will never forget. For me, these moments were determined by my adolescence, my relationship with my parents, so confused but always so present in my heart. But above all, what has remained 'printed' in me are the university memories linked to the goliardia of Pavia.
The joy, the jokes, the mocking were precisely the 'medicine' to the inner anguish that often clouded my emotions.
Actually, my initial idea was to directly write a screenplay and then make a film out of it, then my meeting with director Domenico Costanzo, assisted by my friend Pietro Fornaciari, made me change my mind.
So, we started to rework this project together, and we thought it appropriate to write a book divided into three chapters: the first, containing my university life in the form of an autobiographical story, the second in the form of a film script with hints of dramaturgically interesting fantasy, and even comedy... and in the final chapter I wanted to include a comic strip of my mother to whose memory I dedicate this book.
Thanks are also due to Michele Brancale for supervising this manuscript.
I like to end this presentation with a very meaningful sentence by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 'Life is not what you have lived but what you remember, and how you remember it in order to tell it...' (Giovanni Asole - Giannetto).
