From the author of "Thoughts ... an uphill road"(Pensieri ... una strada in salita), here is a preview of the delicate emotional poetics born of the "caliente" genius and creative of the Rotaliano Gentile Polo (zodiacal sign: Aries). The poetic meditations of the versatile author will come to life through the passionate reading of a duet of narrative voices familiar with emotions and theatrical pathos and will accompany the official presentation of the first edition of the book "Pensieri ... una strada in salita" by the artist Gentile Polo at the magical and evocative rooms of Castel Drena. The presentation of the book "Thoughts ... an uphill road" (Pensieri ... una strada in salita) by the artist Gentile Polo, which has already seen a sold out of copies in Mondadori editions, will be held on the evening of 23 June 2018 during the pictorial exhibition "Arria" of friend and colleague Antonello Serra, well-known Sardinian painter who for many years settled in our splendid alpine territory. Waiting to be able to provide you with further details of the next summer event on these pages, I invite you to explore together the "feeling" of one of the best known and complete artists on the current scene: good reading! "THE FEELING" of Gentile Polo
Tell me ... Musa
And be it, I did what I wanted.
Rules I did not really know
and I do not know how much they would need
and if this, after all, would have been the right way.
The feeling was light and faithful companion
showing me the way, and still tells ...
I walk looking at a little but always ahead,
always looking for the infinite and the taste
plunging into a thousand new perspectives,
but always savoring the clean air.
This air, after all, is life
that makes new things feel inside.
Even though I look at a world upside down
it's hard to explain what I see
between one stroke and another,
and I investigate inside, in the heart, hoping
it may be, after all, some love.
