Paolo Rumiz traces a legend, a myth that started out in Syria and travelled through Turkey before arriving in the old continent, and he does it with the wisdom of words, with the beauty of a gaze thirsting for knowledge and a desire to bring the reader new stories. Canto per Europa is a call to what we are and where we come from. Today, more than ever, it is important to ask oneself this question and provide a precise answer without hesitating, because if we are to turn our eyes to the future, it is essential to look to our past.
