quattro buoni motivi per morire o per vivere felici Artwork

In Italy, there is a saying, "vedi Napoli e poi muori," which translates to "see Naples and then die." This phrase identifies a visit to Naples as an experience so beautiful that it fulfills one's existence. When I was a teenager, I remember often saying that the real issue was not finding a reason to live without wich one might as well die. Instead, given that death is inevitable, the real challenge was to find a reason to die. Depression is an illness that clouds our vision and distorts reality. Matilde and I took a wooden box, the kind used for storing tea and herbal teas, and painted its interior completely black using Musou Black acrylic paint. On Christmas Day, my wife, my eldest daughter, my sister, and Matilde each wrote on a sheet of stationery paper her version of "vedi Napoli e poi muori" – the thing in life that would make her feel most fulfilled. The sheets were folded to keep them unreadable and then passed through a manual document shredder purchased years ago from Muji. The box has four compartments, and we placed the thin strips resulting from each sheet in these compartments. Finally, we closed the box with twine, sealing everything with lacquer wax. At the end, we affixed our seal with the "S" for Sassiassassini, our pseudonym.
