ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book would not have been possible without the help of Professor Ernesto Livorni, who guided me in the development of this project, always providing meaningful insights. I also want to thank Martha Petrone and Dr. Deborah Lyons, for their help in polishing my English and my translations from Italian literary texts. I am also indebted to Professor Maria Carla Papini, who always believed in me. Special thanks go to my family: my wife Silvia, my daughter Marta, and my son Giuliano.
