Le poesie di questa breve raccolta sono state scritte fra il 2019 e il 2021, in un arco di tempo assai meno dilatato rispetto a quella intitolata Tranche de vie. Quasi tutte le precedenti composizioni erano scaturite dallurgenza di esperienze sofferte che esigevano, quasi a scopo terapeutico, di trovare una qualche forma nella scrittura; in questo senso erano state a lungo rielaborate, per evitare le stonature di una modalita ex abundantia cordis. I ventisei testi del presente volumetto hanno invece una scaturigine diversa: uno stato danimo, pacato, si e subito formalizzato in un primo accordo una sorta di tonalita di partenza a cui ha fatto seguito il resto. Di qui il titolo Improvvisi, preso in prestito proditoriamente dalla musica, non solo per alludere al loro carattere di improvvisazione, ma anche a una certa priorita del momento ritmico che ha sorretto immagini e riflessioni. In comune fra le due raccolte ci sono pero alcune figure (il nome Arsenio si riferisce a E.V., ammiratore di Montale), nonche il richiamo a un paio di episodi, ma le metamorfosi del tempo hanno agito anche in questa direzione: ce forse una modificazione del punto di vista, che ha contribuito a stemperare limmediatezza del vissuto, collocandolo definitivamente in una, per cosi dire, profondita intima ma prospettica.

Fermo e una citta che si racconta attraverso i secoli, tra mare Adriatico e Appennino. In queste pagine Alex Mare guida il lettore alla scoperta di un patrimonio unico, in cui storia, arte e devozione si intrecciano nel tessuto urbano, nei monumenti e nelle tradizioni ancora vive. Dal profilo inconfondibile del colle del Girfalco alla Piazza del Popolo, dal Palazzo dei Priori con la Sala del Mappamondo al Duomo dedicato a Santa Maria Assunta, il volume mostra come ogni pietra contribuisca a fare di Fermo un vero museo a cielo aperto.Attraverso testi chiari e immagini suggestive, vengono raccontati i tesori del Museo Diocesano, le grandi opere dei maestri marchigiani ed europei, le chiese, le abbazie e i luoghi simbolo della citta, fino al patrimonio immateriale fatto di riti, feste e identita collettiva. Un libro pensato sia per chi visita Fermo per la prima volta sia per chi vi abita e desidera riscoprirne la bellezza profonda, dove la storia diventa esperienza e appartenenza.

The 12th edition of Atlantic Currents explores how the Wider Atlantic can remain a space of cooperation and renewal in an age marked by instability. As geopolitical rivalries, technological competition, and climate pressures reshape the global order, the Atlantic Basin emerges not as a periphery but as a vital arena for pragmatic partnerships, shared problem-solving, and credible collective action.This 2025 edition traces the shifting contours of the Atlantics strategic landscape, from conflict transformation and the pursuit of digital sovereignty and critical resources to the interlinked challenges of climate, security, and development.

What is the true origin of the universe?Vector Cosmology: The Recursive Decomposition from The One introduces a groundbreaking theoretical framework that approaches reality not as a set of pre-existing physical objects, but as a structure that emerges from a single foundational principle The One.This first volume in the Vector Cosmology series reconstructs the cosmos from a new direction:Scale, dimension, and physical order are not giventhey arise from recursive geometric processes rooted in an initial singular state.Through this lens, space and time are no longer fundamental. Instead, they are consequences of deeper informational and structural recursion.Drawing on geometric intuition, conceptual mathematics, and ontological analysis, this book explores: How a singular origin recursively generates multiplicity Why the universe forms discrete layers of scale rather than a continuous gradient How structure, dimension, and physical law emerge from geometric decomposition Why logic and information may be more fundamental than space, matter, or time A unified way to understand cosmology that bridges physics and metaphysics Rather than offering another physical model, this work proposes a philosophical reconstruction of reality from first principles. Readers interested in foundational physics, cosmology, systems theory, or metaphysics will encounter a rigorous and deeply original approach to understanding the universe.This volume establishes the conceptual engine behind the entire series, setting the stage for later explorations of spirals, dimensional weaving, time, causality, and the final convergence of iteration.If you have ever wondered how complexity arises from simplicityor how something can emerge from nothingthis book provides a compelling new perspective on the architecture of existence.
