MAURO FELICE / WRITER

2008 - publishes the novel 'Mari e Monte', a small depiction of memories and personal, free and passionate thoughts. In the Friuli dialect "Mari" stands for mother, and “Monte” (mountain) is for me unequivocally Mount Buja, Colle di San Lorenzo. That’s where I come from, although it is not where I was born. Mari is therefore also intended as the mother land. More than a homeland. But “mari” (seas) is also intended with its full Italian meaning. Many seas, only one Mountain. When my mother, Santina, found out that I was putting together a series of notes, recollections and free thoughts to make a book, she did not want to be outdone. Due to the same sense of competitiveness that unites us and divides us, as we have very similar personalities, she then wrote what she called an "essay". When reading it I felt emotional for the many memories and personal events which I believe are particular to her generation. So (for those who wish to read this book) you must really begin from there.
