Elegìe Romane

A lyrical pilgrimage through the heart of ancient Rome unfolds in this collection of elegies, where the city’s marble streets and timeless monuments become a canvas for love, longing, and the restless imagination of a wandering poet. The verses weave classical myths, whispered histories, and the sensual pulse of the Eternal City into a tapestry that feels both intimate and grand.

The narrator drifts through dusk‑lit avenues, hearing the clatter of carts and the distant calls of trumpets while his thoughts rise like incense toward the vaulted sky. Dream‑like images of crimson rivers, triumphant eagles, and the luminous dome of Santa Maria Maggiore mingle with yearning pleas for an unseen, ineffable bliss. Each line balances delicate tenderness with a fierce, almost feverish desire to grasp the hidden beauty that lingers in Rome’s shadows.

Through vivid, musical language the poems invite listeners to share the poet’s reverie—an ever‑shifting dance between the tangible streets of the city and the ethereal realms of memory and desire.
