Acropolis<\/em>, the title of the poems, whose meaning refers to the highest and most fortified place in Greek cities, advances the key to their meaning, in the opening quotation which says: There are still some acropolis where you can take refuge. They will last as long as we do. <\/em>In the face of the ugliness that invades our world, the poetic voice of the book, the poet, do not have anything left, in order to survive, but to take refuge in the highest of himself, his ivory tower; in his world of beauty, set in his ideal and in the memory of the time gone. Beauty as a refuge. The last refuge.<\/p>\n

The book is divided into three parts: Sacred Rock<\/em>, the first. The sacred rock refers to the heart of the acropolis \u2015here, the sacred Beauty\u2015, which in Acropolis corresponds to that of the body. The second, Statues Memorial<\/em>. For all poetry is elegiac, a song to the lost, a prayer to absence. And Rewriting<\/em>, the last part, which opens with a quotation from Flaubert’s Salammb\u00f4<\/em>: Un d\u00e9lire fun\u00e8bre agitait Carthage<\/em>… A delirium, a mournful raving, as in the old days to Carthage, agitates the city. There is no other way out for the poetic subject, in this time, than annihilation. And a desire to stop being impregnates the last poems. The book closes with a verse attributed to Emperor Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar, in the famous novel of memories dedicated to him: Natura deficit, fortune mutatur, deus omnia cernit.<\/em> Nature betrays us, fortune changes, a god looks at things from high above.<\/p>\n
