POSSESSO by Gianni Romano
Possesso is the first part of a collaboration between the writer and GRANI Edizioni, which will continue next autumn with the printed publication of a series of writings and marks/drawings created by Valentino Barachini, founder of the publishing house and author of the photographs in this first release.
These are the author’s words summarizing the book:
Possesso is a submerged story, induced into a coma for quiet living. Rarely does it manage to rebel, finding outlet in deep cuts that leave little room for forgiveness.
Biography:
Gianni Romano, born in Sicily, has lived in Florence for nearly twenty years. He works in the music world organizing events before returning to his very first love: writing.
He tells short stories for Gori-Romano, an illustrated narrative duo born on Instagram in September 2020, with whom he has published several self-produced works. Their projects have been featured in the online magazine Doppia Esposizione and in the printed anthology Friscospeaks.
In March 2023, he published his first novella, Ventrile, in a limited edition with Bookabook, followed on May 29 of the same year by Fujire è vergogna, a short-story collection published by Catartica Edizioni in collaboration with UR Suoni, a record label that curated a compilation of tracks accompanying the individual stories.
