User talk:Donato Loscalzo

Donato Loscalzo is a well known author, poet and writer. He was born in 1962 in the southern part of Italy but he has spent most of his life in Perugia, a nice and lovely city in the centre of the Country. He has a degree in literature. He received the PhD in Classical Philology in 1989. After a wide literal and academic production and some essays about Greek literature, from some years he’s interested in alimentation history in his medical-magic aspects. In this sense he orientated his production on taste and alimentation during the Renaissance linked to the principles of alchemy and obscure poetry.

He was used to work with board, classroom and pupils, as he taught Greek and Latin in the high schools of the city. Now the board has changed: he teaches “Greek and Roman dramaturgy” at the university in Viterbo.

He published many books, about several topics but he is fascinated by the nature and the environment of the part of Italy he’s living in. He loves animals, trees, lakes and rivers and they are often the main characters of his books and his poetry.

Donato Loscalzo likes to sit down on the banks of the Trasimeno, the lake he usually talks about, and notice all the lives that run around.

Notice, see, write, describe and observe are the words that draw perfectly his texts. He is like a movie director, where the environment is the topic and the words are the actors: the result is always wonderful performance.
