I was born in the land of Sicily in that of Sciacca, i have always loved poetry, writing verses, but above all culture, true culture, food for the soul! So far i have written more than 4000 poems, I also write philosophical reflections and thoughts. In 2018 i was awarded by the Academy of Sicily, Academic of Sicily. I don't like to participate in literary competitions, because culture, in my view: it is Freedom is Free Spirit, it is Soul in Motion, it must never be harnessed!
To date, my lyrics have been published on the international poetic scene: Revista Azahar who edited my first Silloge of Poems in Spanish: Encantamiento y Palabras como Plumas; some of my poems published in The Silk Road Anthology: Nano Poems for Africa; my other lyrics published on the official website of the "Galassia Poetica Atunis", including one in Russian; my other works published on the official WorldSmith International Editorial website; publication of my poems in OPA The Poetry Journal.
I founded a theater company in Sciacca: Theatrum Socialis Sciacca. I also founded a Lions Club, Sciacca Terme.
Finally, i believe that Poetry will be the weapon with which humanity will make its life free, and furthermore Beauty will always be a truth that will never be buried: from the times and events of daily human life.
