We are what we feel. And telling ourselves to others means telling our emotions. But how to do it, in a moment that seems to confuse everything with everything, losing the boundaries between states of mind? We are told that we are emotional illiterates, and Stefano Massini – the writer so loved for his stories on TV on Thursday evenings on “Piazzapulita” – starts right here for a very profound and ironic journey at the same time into the labyrinth of our feelings. In an imaginary alphabet in which each letter is an emotion (F for Fear, H for Happiness, M for Melancholy…), Massini drags the public into a succession of irresistible stories and examples, with the sole aim of calling by name what moves us from within. Faces, portraits, names, situations flow. Taking center stage is the strength and fragility of the human being, painted with the flair and fun of a passionate storyteller, dubbed “the most popular storyteller of the moment” by La Repubblica.
