Solo cello piece I wrote while attending a composition masterclass with Federico Gardella at Livorno Music Festival 2025. The piece draws inspiration from the life and work of Pier Paolo Pasolini, with extracts from his poetry voiced by the cellist throughout. I am indebted to Lavinia Golfarini and her extraordinary talent in making this piece come to life. Also sincere thanks to Maestro Gardella for his guidance, and Gregorio Demaria for the audio and visual recordings!
