Success in Florence for the tribute evening to Tiziano Terzani, which he saw on the stage of the Giunti Odeon Gloria Germani, who presented his new book “Tiziano Terzani against the war. All is one between East and West” (Terra Nuova editions), together with Irene Grandi, to the duo Pastis (Marco and Saverio Lanza) and others Angela Staude Terzani.
The event was presented by Nicholas Bawtreedirector of the monthly magazine Terra Nuova.
The book (with a preface by Serge Latouche) it is a reflection that delves into the life and thought of Tiziano Terzanione of the most lucid minds in the thought of nonviolence, whose important contribution to a social and political vision of peace and justice is to be considered inseparable from the internal journey experienced firsthand.
Gloria Germani leads us towards a profound understanding of the message of the great journalist writer: the thought of non-dualism, of All is One, which breaks the scientistic and materialist tradition of modernity and suggests a new model of life far from the logic of consumerism, greed and success at all costs, in a new vision that reconciles Eastern and Western thought.
The author, Gloria Germani, with a background in Western and Eastern philosophy, has worked for thirty years in the field of culture and the audiovisual industry. She is the greatest expert on the thought of Tiziano Terzani, whom she met personally at the end of 2001 and who signed the preface of his first book on Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Gandhi..
Irene Grandi in 2018 he celebrated twenty-five years of career with the release of a visual album created with i Pastìs, in which the homage to the Florentine writer and intellectual found space. The inspiring words of Tiziano Terzani, the journalist, writer and traveler make us understand that knowledge is first and foremost about self-discovery. And the awareness that everything is connected, everything is one.
After the presentation of the book, a screening of the film was held “Tiziano Terzani: the kamikaze of peace” (directed by Leandro Manfrini and Willy Baggi), with an introduction by Angela Staude Terzani and Gloria Germani. An emblematic film that portrays Tiziano Terzani on his pilgrimage to Italy in 2002 to avert the attack on Iraq and explain the reasons for his book “Letters against the war” (Longanesi, 2002). A radical and merciless criticism of the desacralized humanity of consumerism, technology and the empire of the economy.
