L’elisir di mezzanotte

Through the lyrical aspects of his prose, Roman poet and writer Francesco Serrao builds a word structure designed to house memories, dreams, fantasies and personal experiences. These elements combine and intertwine like a game of liquid inlays, offering a mosaic with transparently juxtaposed pieces. Avoiding rigid narrative solutions and pursuing Flaubert's utopian vision of a perfectly complete synthesis, Serrao’s writing creates and recreates his unique path, infusing the page with a vibrant, pulsating and feverish energy. The resulting narrative is a constant flow of words that conjure up spectacular and disastrous events, engaging readers cathartically. The author boldly embraces the challenge against the clichés of language and literature, embarking on an unrelenting quest that resembles an erotic aesthetic adventure. He ventures into the less-explored realms of the writing world, bridging traditionally separate domains: fantasy, philosophy, history and criticism.
