The first chapter of the book, in fact, starts from the ‘invisible strength of roots’, the family and cultural ones, as underlined by the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara in the message read by his political advisor Vincenzo Mannino. The other aspect of the book highlighted by Valditara is the “passion” from which the book takes its title, “a necessary propellant – according to the minister – to contribute to the teaching and education of children”. “This book is dedicated to my son Fabio Massimo. It was born from the desire to be able to leave something to today’s kids, who are often disoriented. I feel a lot of superficiality around, and being able to give young people and also parents an idea of ​​how they can help them is fundamental. Before I did it through painting, now with words,” said Giorlandino.

And in this sense the book aims to be a “compass” to guide children and parents. “With Mariastella we shared the music of the soul, the one that speaks louder than words.
