Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

I keep writing in all the books I’ve published, that the inhabitants of this time feel alone, afraid, empty and powerless, and for this reason they desperately seek to bind themselves to their similars.  But today the lasting bonds have disappeared and are substituted by temporary bonds, that don’t require commitment, hard work, tension or suffering, and above all that do not limit freedom. For this it’s more correct to speak of personal connections, the model of which is...

  I’ve learned with time how to live each day with soul. I have to say that when you remain in continuous  contact with your own soul you desire to refine yourself and you know how, you become more and more essential. This is the destiny of true, alive, free men and women.

  The innocent child, confident of himself, is a powerful, wonderful, fantastic being. Ever since I discovered him, I try not to neglect the “little Valerio” in me. It is he who gives me the strength to keep living. He’s always enthusiastic, curious and rich in creativity and inventiveness. He possesses an inexhaustible vitality, an infinite energy. He is full of joy and always helps me to turn upside down any negative situation, transforming it into positive. He makes me...
