Il trampolino per le stelle: Tre dialoghi e due racconti

In this inventive collection, the timeless clown‑figure Pierrot steps out of the attic on the last day of carnival, mask in hand, to converse with a silent confidant. Through lively dialogue he confesses a restless yearning—to be adored more than he knows how to love, to chase endless fantasies while keeping his pockets empty. The scene is painted with snowfall, cracked lantern light, and the lingering scent of theatrical masquerade, setting a tone that is both playful and introspective.

The conversations drift between poetic games and bitter self‑reflection, as Pierrot likens verses to spinning tops that flash bright before fading. He invokes classic troubadours, references fanciful poets, and toys with the idea of catching moonlight in a well. The prose is a vivid blend of humor, melancholy, and philosophical tease, inviting listeners to wander through a world where masks reveal more than they hide and where every sigh may be a verse waiting to spin.
