| Summary: | "Quasi niente" has the ancient flavor of stories once told in front of the hearth. Stories that entertained liberating simple and essential knowledge, which today is lacking. In this hectic era dominated by the myths of success, victory at all costs and enrichment, Corona and Maieron make a different and moving contribution. They talk of defeat, fragility, desire, inner peace, loyalty, roots, silence, sense of limit, love, recalling legendary characters such as Anna, Silvio, Menin, Tituta, Tacus, Orlandin, Cecilia, Tin, Pakai Trio and many others. Men and women who have not found space in history books but have been able to leave a luminous message that can change our lives. "Philosophers" whose minute knowledge transfer the memory of those who live in the small valleys, where they have not signed snow and can be called from one coast to the other. It is born of the encounter between two great friends who, in a passionate and enjoyable conversation, gently alternate stories, anecdotes, reflections and quotes giving us a small and precious gem. A philosophy that comes from a past revived without nostalgia. A time when values were lived not specifically for moralism but because they helped us to be better. Quasi niente is the last trace of a world far different from what we live in today. A tough, fierce world, but one that still has much to teach. |
