PIÙ CHE L'AMORE.
DELL'ULTIMA TERRA LONTANA E DELLA PIETRA BIANCA DI PALLADE.
PRELUDIO.
IL PRIMO EPISODIO.
INTERMEZZO.
IL SECONDO EPISODIO.
ESODIO.
In this lyrical tragedy the narrator wanders through the crumbling ruins of Diocletian’s baths, where the silence of marble statues contrasts with the restless memory of a people once built on suffering and faith. The prose is drenched in classical allusions, and the atmosphere feels both ancient and unsettlingly modern, as the narrator grapples with a personal anxiety that seems tied to the very stones around him.
At the heart of the first act stands Ulisside, a figure caught between a generous brother’s parting and the looming weight of a fatal song. He steps to an open window, lifts his eyes to a spring sky over Rome, and his quiet words unleash a sudden, overwhelming ripple of laughter that shakes the theater. The interplay of love, duty, and a haunting sense of destiny unfolds in richly layered language, inviting listeners to taste the bitter‑sweet flavor of a modern tragedy rooted in timeless myth.
