Quotes
-
People love Baldini, by now extremely popular. It's exalting to see how much people follow a show that proposes a simple reading of poems from one of the greatest contemporary poets, breaking down the traditional barriers between 'cultivated' and 'popular' poetry.

I wrote in Romagnol because 'you can't say everything, but you can say some things better than in Italian'.
