CANZONIERE

Angelo Sturiale’s book is a true itinerarium mentis (journey of the mind), populated by fluid, iridescent verses. Angelo Santangelo describes this as a "kaleidoscopic poetics of wonder," seamlessly blending music, sound, gesture, and visual art. Unpretentious and direct, Sturiale's poems offer a refuge for human vulnerability—a "butterfly's breath" above the decline of Western civilization, personified here by modern Sicily ("sunsets raped by crimes and omertà"). Seeking renewal (palingenesis), the poet turns toward the East as an antidote to Western neuroses, even while grieving the painful separation (discidium) from his native Sicilian language.

FINESTRA

“A window devoid of anthropocentrism, put there, seems to look out, but it's a matter of perspective. Yeah, because what is a window, that window? Is it a boundary, a separation, or rather a meeting point? If you stand at the window, elbows resting on the sill, do you stand inside or do you stand outside? To what landscape do you belong? Is the window aggregating or estranging? Does it envelop you or project you? Is it an input or an output? Certainly it is a metaphor, the poet's weapon par excellence. Certainly it eludes the principles for which it was built to become the point of origin of excursions indifferently directed outward as well as inward from the elevation on which it rests. There is a beyond the window, and a beyond the window. And in the middle is the window; it cannot be ignored. It makes a perfect backdrop for Pindaric, courtly, reckless flights among the most diverse vistas, whether gliding out among mountains of glowing lava, drowned in fog, old neighborhoods, Mexico and clouds, golden China, churches smelling of incense and mold, or turning inward, among bowels and memories, in the despair of not being able to share that universe with anyone. Lots of noise, a great background buzz, but no one! Except the window.” (From the Preface by Sal Costa.).

LA BELLEZA MÚLTIPLE

The essay "La música escondida", by the composer Angelo Sturiale, has been published in the collective book "La belleza múltiple" (Bellaterra Editions) coordinated by Professor Lluis X. Álvarez, from the University of Oviedo, and Luis Xavier López Farjeat, from the Universidad Panamericana de México. The volume is a highly eclectic exercise in which several voices have externalised very diverse approaches and points of view that, although they seem disjointed, allow us to confirm the breadth of the reflections on art and aesthetics. The reader will find essays that keep a great distance from each other and that project diverse concerns related to the abandonment of beauty and the importance of making it reborn, or with the variety of forms in which it can be understood according to the different forms of expression and to the diverse cultural environments. The essays collected here by Llus X. lvarez, Mirian Rodrguez, Luis Feás, Adriana Clavel, Miguel Alfonso Bouhaben, Angelo Sturiale, Cristina Morales, Rubén Figaredo, Thomas Heyd, Mariana Méndez-Gallardo, Shekoufeh Mohammadi, and Mara Molina demonstrate the breadth of interests in artistic theory, art history, and art philosophy. Despite the different visions offered by each of them, some common concerns can be seen: where art is going, where art is, how to understand aesthetics and beauty, how to understand art and artistic expressions from different cultures. http://www.ed-bellaterra.com/php/llibresInfo.php?idLlibre=1331

ERGONOMIC PIANO EXERCISES

This book provides a series of original piano exercises specifically designed for developing hand strength and endurance. This special training is based on an ergonomic view of the position of the hand on the keys. It is conceived as an alternative piano ‘workout’ and is designed for intermediate/advanced piano students, professional pianists, and keyboardists who wish to improve their technique in all musical genres. Ergonomic hand movement is anatomically focused on spontaneous and natural configurations of hand position and finger articulation on the keyboard, without reference to musical language or style. Though they are labelled numerically, the exercises are not necessarily in order of increasing difficulty. Thus, they may be practiced in any order, according to one's personal taste or specific goals. Tempo and dynamics have been intentionally omitted from all exercises. However, results are more effective when the exercises are practiced loudly and quickly, as they focus on building muscular strength and endurance of the hand and fingers, along with the wrist and forearm.

CATALOGO D'AMORE

Angelo Sturiale, with this CATALOGUE OF LOVE, entrusts to the word variegated entities of lacerations with a tormented narration that avoids any indulgence. One descends in volutes into a precipice covered with ramifications where the scrutiny of the mind opens (submits) to that of the heart. The result is a snappy piece of writing, uncontainable but symmetrical, that shatters like a crystal into sharp facets. The form takes on that of poetic prose, disseminated with burning disguises of melancholy. Perhaps Sturiale engraves, on his own body-diary, the notes of an unrepeatable (unstoppable) paradigm of love.

EL HECHIZO DE TANTOS MUNDOS

Born from a series of conversations in Monterrey, Mexico—recorded, translated, and curated by Ornella Rota—this volume is the fruit of an exchange across oceans. What begins as an encounter between four distinct perspectives unfolds into a shared vision of a pluralistic world. As Vincenzo Parla notes, it is a space where vastly different cultures and lifestyles can coexist with mutual respect and equal dignity. Angelo Sturiale echoes this call for openness, extending it to our most intimate spheres—arguing that even the family, life’s core foundation, should be lived freely according to one’s own model, bounded only by non-violence and care. Fittingly, the book culminates in "Discoveries," a dialogue between Parla and Sturiale. Yet Sturiale’s voice is not only heard through his words: his essential, enigmatic, and unmistakable drawings run throughout these pages, offering a parallel visual journey. Open this book to join a conversation that spans continents, disciplines, and the quiet spaces in between.
