INTERIOR WORLD
IT IS NOT SIMPLE TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES, OUR INTERIOR WORLD, HOW WE ARE INSIDE; IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, ON THE CONTRARY. I WILL TRY, ANYWAY, TO SHED LIGHT ON SOME CORNERS: ART HAS BEEN FOLLOWING ALL MY LIFE AND IT FORCED ME AT 24 TO MAKE IT THE CORE OF MY EXISTENCE. THIS LAST SENTENCE WOULDN'T HAVE MEANT SO MUCH TO ME IN THE PAST BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GROWING UP WITH THE CONCEPT: "HOMO FABER EST SUE QUISQUE FORTUNAE": "THE MAN MAKES HIS OWN DESTINY": MAN GUIDES HIS DESTINY. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME: ART WAS INSIDE ME AND I WAS INSIDE ART. MY LIFE WAS FOLLOWING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TRACKS: BRILLIANT MATHEMATICAL-SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, DEGREE IN ECONOMICS AND ALREADY DESTINED TO ENTER DADDY'S COMPANY. ART, ANYWAY, WAS NATURALLY POURING OUT OF ME: POEMS OF A CHILD, DRAWINGS OF A LITTLE BOY. THE SENSITIVITY WAS SO DEVELOPED THAT IT EVEN MADE LIFE UNCOMFORTABLE AND BROUGHT ME A HIGH DEGREE OF INTERIOR DESEASE. BETWEEN 18 AND 24 YEARS, A SERIES OF FAMILY VICISSITUDES, WHICH COULD BE A SCRIPT OF A SUCCESFULL SOAP OPERA, SHOOK MY LIFE AND WIPED OUT MY DESTINY. LOTS OF MY STUDIES AND KNOWLEDGES BECAME USELESS FOR SOCIETY: BECAUSE THEY WERE, IN THEORY, VERY REQUESTED BUT PRACTICALLY EVEN NOT CONSIDERED, SINCE IN ITALY IS STILL PRESENT THE FEUDAL PRACTICE TO ASK FIRST: "WHO ARE YOU?" AND THEN, EVENTUALLY: "WHAT ARE YOU ABLE TO DO?". I WAS DISMISSED AT THE FIRST QUESTION. THIS FAILURE CAUSED, THANKS TO GOD (NOT IN FIGURATIVE SENSE), AN EXPLOSION OF WHAT WAS INSIDE ME, AND MADE ME CHANGE THE CENTER OF MY LIFE. I SUFFERED FROM A DEEP PAIN, WHICH I CONSCIOUSLY TRANSFORMED INTO POETRY, AND FROM A GREAT JOY WHICH I SUBLIMATED INTO PAINTING. PAINTING HAS BEEN GIVING ME A LOT OF THINGS: BEAUTY, PEACE, SATISFACTION OF MY RESULTS, THE GIFT OF A JOB MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THAT I WAS EXPECTED TO DO. WHEN PATRIZIA ENTERED MY LIFE SHE WAS 19, I STRONGLY WANTED HER AND NOW I THINK SHE IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE, INTELLIGENT WOMAN I KNOW. SHE IS REALLY FIT TO ME LIKE ANY OTHER ON EARTH (CINEMA, MASS MEDIA AND VIRTUAL REALITY INCLUDED). PATRIZIA IS PART OF ME JUST LIKE MY THREE CHILDREN: FABIOLA, MATTIA AND FRANCESCO. I DISCOVERED THEY ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL THE REST, AND IF THERE IS A THING IN LIFE THAT IS WORTH DOING IS TO BE A HUSBAND AND A FATHER. I WISH TO CONCLUDE WITH TWO EQUATIONS, WHICH COME OUT FROM MY MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND: SUFFERING=POETRY, JOY=PAINTING. THE SOLUTION IS: TO LIVE WITH JOY!
