The Poetic Path of “I Ask”
“Io Chiedo” is a book of poems that represents a literary, social and theological itinerary in verse, published by Controluna Edizioni. The work compares biblical and literary writings with events of contemporary daily life, guiding us through the moments of pain, death and resurrection of Christ, comparing them to our personal experiences. This journey allows every reader, believer or not, to rediscover intense human values and deep emotions.

The book is enriched by an unreleased musical track by Massimo Germini, historic guitarist of Roberto Vecchioni and other famous singer-songwriters. The preface is signed by the singer-songwriter Giovanni Nuti, known for having collaborated with the great poet Alda Merini, while the postface is written by the psychologist and writer Sister Rosa Lorusso.
