Oh, well... since we're in Italy, comedy inevitably ends up overshadowing the narrative elements. It's 9:45 a.m. now, and I'd better try to get some sleep.

If you follow the official Italian news, you get the impression you're in a movie where all the teenage students have turned into mutant zombies thirsty for destruction, activated by remote control by all the bloodthirsty communists in the opposition.

Incidents have occurred during protests in several Italian cities, just as they have in Paris and elsewhere. The pro-government Italian press refers to “guerrilla warfare” as if the protesters were an organized enemy army. The news here today seems like a parody of a B-movie disaster film.

"Years appeared to pass, slowly. The earth had almost reached the center of the sun's disk. The light from the Green Sun—as now it must be called—shone through the interstices, that gapped the mouldered walls of the old house, giving them the appearance of being wrapped in green flames."

I remember with fondness and nostalgia my meeting with Roland C. Wagner, in 2002, at an Italian convention. He bought an inflatable plastic Godzilla at a local fair and carried it around all day, tied to a string like a leash, even bringing it to the panel table where he was participating.

In 1995, the French writer Roland C. Wagner (1960–2012) wrote an alternate-history biography of H.P. Lovecraft, titled “H.P.L. (1890–1991),” in which he recounts the life and career of a Lovecraft who lived to be 101 years old. The latest French edition includes an English-language version.

“Caduto per la libertà senza sbocco”. “He died for a freedom with no way out.” (Context in ALT text)

"Caduto per la libertà senza sbocco".
Photo of a marble plaque bearing the name of a street in Genoa, Italy. Beneath the name of the partisan after whom the street is named, the words “Fallen for freedom” are inscribed, and someone has handwritten “no way out” to indicate that the street is a dead end. This, however, gives rise to the surreal phrase “He died for a freedom with no way out.”

I'm finally a published poet! 😁 Oh, well, no—it's just my response in rhyme to the question "Why do you like Strani Aeoni?" posed to contributors of the Italian publishing and writing group of the same name, all compiled into an ebook. straniaeoni.blogspot.com/2026/10/cozy...

Dall'alveo mio sommerso
nel mare da milioni
d'anni, il mio sonno è perso.
Né morte né stagioni,
né afflato mai diverso
d'astri o rivoluzioni
d'orbite a un sole avverso
placaron mie pulsioni,
la sete mia attraverso
sogni di libagioni
di umane menti, a un sorso
svuotate di ragioni
e senno, in un perverso
brindisi alle abiezioni
di un più folle universo.
Per tali e altre questioni,
dichiaro incontroverso,
mi piace "Strani Aeoni"
ché alla follia è converso.

From my riverbed, submerged
in the sea for millions
of years, my sleep is lost.
Neither death nor seasons,
nor any ever-changing inspiration
from stars or the revolutions
of orbits around an adverse sun
have appeased my urges;
my thirst, through
dreams of libations
from human minds—emptied, in a single gulp,
of reason and sense—in a perverse
toast to the abject depths
of a madder universe.
For these and other reasons,
I declare without dispute
that I like “Strani Aeoni”
because it is devoted to madness.

"C'è grossa crisi". Sorry, only Italians will get this.

Photomontage: a scene from “2001: A Space Odyssey,” but with the wooden, nail-studded idol of “Quelo” in place of the monolith, surrounded by prehistoric ape-men. Quelo is the idol of a pseudo-religion promoted by an unlikely guru, a television character created by Italian comedian Corrado Guzzanti in the late 1990s. “There’s a major crisis” was his catchphrase.

These are short stories, anecdotes, and reflections written in the form of letters—sometimes ironic, sometimes moralizing. In fact, there is little of interest, but the little book is fascinating because of its relative age!

The oldest book on my bookshelf is this curious Italian volume from 1751, which I found for just a few euros at a flea market a quarter of a century ago.

October 12 will mark the birth anniversary of uncle Edward Alexander “Aleister” Crowley. A pictoresque character that I don’t like at all, but back then I still created one of my photo-montages of him—featuring one of my sculptures, as usual—which was published in the ebook “The Weirdles.”

Black-and-white photo-montage: a young Aleister Crowley crouched in an armchair, with a notebook on his lap. To the right behind him stands a human statue with a snail’s head divided into two protrusions, its arms positioned in the obscene gesture known as the “bras d’honneur.” In the background is a dark stone wall with mysterious inscriptions carved into and around a bas-relief circle.
