Introduces Giuseppe D'Emilio, writer and professor at the “Panzini” Institute of Senigallia

Halfway between narrative reportage of travel and map of the soul, Balkan Circus is an experience, a journey into the breath of a colorful and amazing world. A prose which knows Kusturica and Goran Bregovic, weddings and funerals: the Balkans in sweet and sour sauce. Balkan Circus is a journey of the soul that winds through the Balkans, meaning almost legendary epicenter of a Europe still to be explored, which starts from Slovenia and reaches the Caucasus and Siberia, through the Tatra mountains. Floramo gives birth to a set of intersections that arise from the discovery of special people, extraordinary fellow adventurers. Meetings at times touching, others grotesque or ironic, hilarious and improbable, greedy or amazing. The places he describes become almost legendary, according to the story that they know how to narrate, for the energy running through them.

Angelo Floramo was born in Udine in 1966. Friulian, Mixed Race, is Balkan father's side. Medievalist by training, he has published several critical essays, monographs and scientific articles in national and international journals. He teaches humanities at the Technical Institute of Gemona Marchetti (Ud). He is director of the Library Guarneriana di San Daniele (UD).
