In Il libro degli addii (The Book of Farewells), the poets tells
what had been most precious for him in his lifetime: it is a farewell
to his numerous friends and enemies. Proper nouns become a metaphor,
keys for understanding the book. This log-book written by a shipwrecked
person includes many episodes, each summarizing a story. The author
observes not so much the war but rather life during war: in the
end, life will prevail but black dreams will last over time, maybe
unforgettable.
