DESCRIPTION
The leitmotif of this release is time, especially the inner time of emotions and feelings, which only art can express: the time of a story reverberating in the lights of a metropolis, the time of a cigarette extinguished on the asphalt, but also the time of dreams and love... In short, the time of a life lived, recounted in it's most intimate and changing meanings, the time of Dasein. The result is a multiform necklace of small pearls, marked by a musical eclecticism that gives it unquestionable added value. Alfredo de Giovanni, from Apulia, is a geologist, musician and successful writer He has numerous songs, short stories and novels to his credit that tell of his Apulia, the myths and history of southern Italy.

L'abisso di Castel del Monte', which has been republished several times and translated into English, he won the Fortuna Literary Prize in 2019, while his latest novel 'Carafa.
