La vita fino a te - Italian Edition

Matteo Bussola recognizes the extraordinary aspect hidden within ordinary things because he looks at them as if they were happening for the first time, as if he always feels life pulsating in every cell. It is with that gaze that he recounts sentimental relationships, the moment they are born, the time they inhabit. He does so by baring his soul, recalling past loves, to retrace the path that has led him here, to his existence with Paola and their three daughters. Above all, he does so by mirroring in everyone's stories: those he meets on a train, or while peeking out of the car window, or sitting in a bar early in the morning. Those he encounters while in the world without ever taking the world for granted, and his intimate and familiar voice gives them back to us, making us feel that he is speaking exactly about us. "Bussola knows how to write. He uses words carefully, as if they were important. As important as the experiences they convey." Michele Serra

In these pages, I have chosen to shed light on things that make sense to me: love where I find it - including the love from which, out of fear or cowardice, I have fled - care when it strikes me, the pain from which I have learned, the beauty in what is, even when it comes unexpectedly and almost hurts.
