About this ebook

Being part of a circle of writers who meet and exchange ideas through a Facebook group - nowadays it's all done through social networks - I launched to the others the idea of creating a story or a poem inspired by a Leonardo Longhi’s sculpture. That said, in a very short time the convened responded and, even faster, we created this beautiful little volume. A challenge? Yes, a good and beautiful challenge. Leonardo challenged us to move from images to words. Who won the challenge: the sculptor or the authors? I'd say both. Try reading the words, keeping the images in mind, and you will see that images and words will no longer appear to be opposite, but complementary. In Oscar Sartarelli’s words, no longer Wolf and Deer, but two souls in one body.
What we find in Leonardo Longhi's wood sculptures and in the writings of those authors who participated, is a single entity: the man. In its various facets, but always the man.
