The present volume - published both in Italian and English - contains seven stories, written some decades ago by Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, published in various formats over the years (mostly in booklets published on behalf of the author). Thanks to AutoRicerca, and to the author’s availability, these evocative texts are now available to a wider audience of readers.

Each of the seven stories that you will discover in the pages that follow, have been written, and often told, with the precise intention of opening the mind and the heart of those who had read them, or listened to them. In fact, as the author explains, to tell a story is like throwing a seed. From the beauty of the tree that will be born you may know the wisdom that is contained inside. And so, as from the smallest of seeds a majestic tree may be born, even from the smallest story a man (a humanity!) of great soul may be born.
