Roberto Costantini's New Poetry Collection 'L'uomo di spalle' Features Sabrina Tacci's Paintings

Roberto Costantini has released his third poetry collection titled 'L'uomo di spalle,' which concludes a poetic trilogy that began with 'Musagete' in 2021 and continued with 'Il canto del tempo' in 2022. The new work is enhanced by ten 'Dark Portraits' paintings from Italian artist Sabrina Tacci, who currently lives and exhibits in the Netherlands. Tacci's artwork, including her piece 'Eros,' appears on the cover and throughout the book, adding visual depth to Costantini's verses. The collection represents a personal turning point for Costantini, who dedicates the work to the memory of his mother Adua. Through this publication, the poet confronts emotional growth and past pain while looking toward future possibilities. The text explores themes of identity and perspective, with Costantini examining his own emotional landscape through carefully constructed poetic language. Previous collection 'Il canto del tempo' featured photographs by Emy Mei, establishing a pattern of visual collaboration in Costantini's publications. The work draws inspiration from diverse poetic references ranging from Charles Baudelaire to Greek mythology.
