How do you announce a first communion, marriage or engagement? How do you wish a happy New Year in a different way? How do you give special thanks to a doctor who has cured a loved one? What to write to accompany a gift? And the right words for more than 10,000 occasions! On dozens of occasions we must congratulate, send special wishes, thank, or express our solidarity, participation or sympathy, by voice, by phone, or in writing. Every time we find ourselves with the same problem: we are at a loss for words. Or we always use the same, those stereotypical words that say nothing: "Congratulations!", "We are with you!", "Happy New Year!", "Thank you from the bottom!", "I will not forget these days! ». Isn't it possible to be more expressive, warmer, more personal? Well, here is the book with which you will finally be able to say or write congratulations that depart from the everyday, are noticed, express something true and are remembered. And not only that, you will also find, in addition to examples of phrases and the method to make ideas appear, the modern rules of courtesy for every occasion: to give or not to give, to send a letter or a card, to send or not to send flowers, and how, when and why. A book to better express our friendship, our affection and also our distinction in all kinds of social events.

The ArtsMarch 2003Svevo in Venice
by Paolo Puppa
Few people know it, but Italo Svevo lived for over fifteen years in Venice, at the Sacca Serenella on the island of Murano, commuting, a little anonymous and a little dark, between this strip of land surrounded by the lagoon and his native Trieste. His father-in-law Gioacchino Veneziani's father-in-law, Gioacchino Veneziani's father-in-law, had a heavy burden as director of the Murano branch of the large Trieste underwater paint factory, but duty came first.This long period is marked by hours and hours spent waiting for the chemical preparation to be melted in the furnaces; by his assiduous correspondence with his wife Livia, who remained in Trieste; by nights stolen from sleep to write or reflect; by shrill notes torn from a violin that seemed to mockingly parody the torment of his frustrated soul. Paolo Puppa reconstructs, starting from the original correspondence of the writer from Trieste, the stay of Ettore Schmitz-Italo Svevo in Murano, giving life to a real monologue of the soul.Svevo appears there in all his human weakness, torn between the anxiety to write and the duty to work, between the passionate love for his wife and living with an island that is not always a friend.Only the sunsets in the lagoon, the wandering through the calli, the Venetian festivals know how to make the sensitive eyes of the writer shine, recluse almost in a hermitage surrounded by water. "Svevo a Venezia" has a preface by Elvio Guagnini, director of the magazine of Swabian studies in Trieste and full professor of Italian literature at the University of Trieste. The full text will be recited by Mario Valgoi at the Conservatory of Trieste with the accompaniment of the pianist Carlo Carratelli.
