Great satisfaction from the professor Fabrizio Rossi(67 years old) for the “Cimitile Award” which crowns years of studies and literary-cultural insights. The professor Fabrizio Rossi, assistant professor in service at the IISS “L. Einaudi” in Canosa di Puglia, he is particularly interested in autobiographical writing and the application of the Feuerstein method. In 2018, in collaboration with Gerardo La Porta, he published the short essay “The castaways. Impressions of a year of educational support”, for Erickson Live. In 2022, in collaboration with Gerardo La Porta, he published “Two Lives in Quarantine”, for the publishing house “Il filo di Arianna”, through shared autobiographical writing: a journey down memory lane in which the memories and reflections of a teacher intertwine with those of a former student. From the narrative the two authors bring out the different ways of being that have marked their paths and the directions in which they have oriented their gaze to grasp new horizons and new projects. The stories proposed have a common background: that of personal experiences within a social fabric that risks losing cohesion and splintering, transforming people into individuals who are increasingly distant from each other and incapable of communicating.
While, the winning work “A difficult year for Professor Scarlatti” focus attention on “Demetrio, a support teacher, is introverted, distrustful and solitary. His life disappointed him, his professional choices forced him to make compromises and sacrifices which over time shaped his character, making him compliant with the critical issues that characterize the school system.” The novel “A difficult year for Professor Scarlatti” narrates the experiences that, between the summer of 2016 and the spring of 2018, marked his life in an oppressive and frustrating context. A series of dramatic events, which take place in places where the school community shows its inconsistency and his weakness, involve Demetrius and his students in a difficult journey. The clash with the community worsens and reaches its peak when Demetrius realizes that the antagonist could not be the single individual, but a world now accustomed to hypocrisy and the manipulation of the truth.
