" Words, the right ones, the true ones, have the same power as actions. Words lead to deeds. They prepare the soul, make it ready and lead it to tenderness."

Giuseppe Cederna reads and narrates the journey of the men and words that help us understand who we are, celebrating-through poetry, song and civic passion-the complexities and wonders of the world we live in.

Poetry is light; it can be slipped into your backpack or carried by heart. Poetry is the gratitude of the journey. Poetry embraces hearts and trees. From the great pilgrim routes to nameless paths, from the islands of the Mediterranean to the rivers and sacred springs of the Himalayas: we are the earth, our consciousness is also the consciousness of our planet.
