Quintessenza was born in the in-between — between love and loss, in quiet train rides and sleepless nights. A collection of poems on becoming, belonging, and the beauty of vulnerability. Written in Italian, it carries the restless honesty of my generation, through the rhythm of my language. #poems

It’s said that one must sink all execrable things Closed in a sepulchre, deep in oblivion, And that by written works, evil brought back to life Will taint the moral will of our posterity. But vice is mothered not by Knowledge, not at all, And Virtue’s surely not the child of Ignorance.
