BOOK "HAPPY AGAINST THE WORLD - Always remember the light you are" - Garzanti
Gioia always thought that there was a word to make sense of everything. Where those he knew could not reach, there were those of other languages: untranslatable, but full of magic.
Now, the notebook on which he pinned those words lies forgotten in a dumpster. Joy has become the night of the bright day that it was: he left school and no longer makes his chats, as beautiful as travels, with the philosophy professor, Bove. He doesn't have the answers he's looking for either. Indeed, he himself has disappointed her most of all. From her past emerges an unconfessable secret that makes her understand that he is not as he believed.
Joy no longer has certainties and understands once and for all that the world is not as it imagines it. That nothing lasts forever and that everyone, sooner or later, abandons it. Like Lo, who after holding her in her arms betrayed her trust: she was certain that nothing would divide them after what they had been through together. But that was not the case. Joy cannot forgive him. Better not to believe anything anymore.
Yet, Lo and Bove really know that girl who almost never smiles, but who, when she does, shines like a light; the one who, every day, writes on his arm the verse of his favorite poem. That sometimes falls and yet is happy. that is the Joy that must come back to the surface. Together you can emerge from the darkness and write a different ending. Together the noise of the world is just a whisper that is not scary.
Enrico Galiano has finally decided to give his readers the sequel to Eppure cadiamo felici, the debut novel that consecrated him in the Olympus of writers. Since then, Italy's most beloved professor has written four more books that have climbed the charts, is being translated throughout Europe and has become a reference figure for the press and television. Meeting Joy and Lo again is an immense emotion, because deep down they have never abandoned us.

The secret of a good teacher to him is:"They do not listen to you, if you are not the first to listen to them". Every now and then he takes his bike and goes around the world with a backpack, a pen and a great desire for amazement.
His debut novel, Yet We Fall Happy, being translated throughout Europe, was the revelation book of 2017 and won the International City of Como Award for Best First Work and the Mediterranean Culture Award.

BOOK "VIOLA E IL BLU - The freedom to be the colors you want" - Salani Editore
Why does anyone believe that there are things "male" and things "female"? Why is a little girl who plays football a tomboy and a child who wants to dance is a sissy?
In this book Matteo Bussola, inspired by conversations with his daughters, investigates gender stereotypes through the eyes of a little girl. Starting from the most basic of these: it is inconvenient that children like (or wear) the color pink, and it is equally inconvenient that girls like (or wear) the color blue. This polarity is already paradigm of everything else, and becomes the trigger to tell the story of Viola. A little girl who likes all colors, but in particular blue...
