Springs, at times, but mostly Au­tumns of parks, among cen­tur­ies-old trees, paths where gravel crunches un­der­foot, maples, yew trees and alders, sev­eral com­mon and humble benches, vis­ited by the shad­ows and by the dance of the Sun on the leaves. These poems of Melandri, a young Italian poet who has de­veloped a styl­istic ma­tur­ity, con­sti­tute a com­pact and re­fined col­lec­tion, skilled at grasp­ing the in­teg­rity and fresh­ness of the human ex­per­i­ence in just a few clas­sic and cre­at­ive struc­tures. "Art is noth­ing but a simple re­flec­tion of life", the au­thor points out, and, read­ing the notes of this brief con­cert, de­signed in a cham­ber style vein for an in­tim­ate meet­ing of those who enjoy dia­logue, we would have to agree. A small step in the great de­vel­op­ment of the Italian and European nar­rat­ive po­etry. A do­mestic book rich in en­chant­ments, phonic and visual, thanks also to the ex­tens­ive and per­cept­ive col­lab­or­a­tion of Reg­giani. A pos­it­ive im­mer­sion and shar­ing of feel­ings and sen­sa­tions.
