Francesco Piccolo's 'Momenti di trascurabile felicità' offers timely solace

Francesco Piccolo's book 'Momenti di trascurabile felicità', published ten years ago by Einaudi, is being revisited as a remedy for the current quarantine. The book originated from a file of scattered thoughts about daily small joys, which Piccolo updated over the years. After sharing it with his editor, who was enthusiastic, the book was published and received positive public reception. The same file later inspired 'Momenti di trascurabile infelicità' (2015). Piccolo describes the work as a 'catalogue of cheerfulness', capturing fleeting moments of happiness that readers can relate to. The article, written by Francesca Bertuglia for MIfacciodiCultura, highlights the book's relevance during the pandemic.
