  1. 1. L'arte Di Essere Fragili

    come Leopardi può salvarti la vita

    A reflective blend of memoir, literary reading and philosophical musing that uses the life and poetry of Giacomo Leopardi to argue that recognizing and welcoming our fragility can become a source of courage, beauty and meaning; through personal anecdotes, close readings and appeals to students and educators, it encourages transforming suffering into a stimulus for authenticity, hope, love and a renewed passion for life.
