The enigmatic and utterly charming collection of poems by Lucio Giuliodori, dall'esplicativo Alchemy surrealist and symbolic title refers us to a path that dell'iniziatico has all the stench and the characteristic deep, realized through the artistic language and verse, that are real art criticism in poetry, which sublimation and symbolization, both cultural and artistic on the anthropological, cultured in the historical dimension, the transformation of the artistic languages of each artist, in the conceptual categories and the repertoire must act to understand any discourse about the same, linked by the common thread of surrealism. Concept that has always inspired artists of every single historical period, but has established and institutionalized, as a cultural movement against the traditional culture to a free expression of the unconscious with André Breton and his Manifesto du surrealism in Paris in 1924. In it you condense the aspirations of a large number of young artists who abandoned to the forces of darkness and free of the self, such as fantasy, madness, dream, wonderful with the use of overt homage to Freud who first systematized 's dream analysis as a means of human knowledge and absolute reality, or rather of a surreal that he will attain the totality of being.

Surrealism is called non-conformist, directing their steps to the clairvoyance of abandonment, or better yet, to the status of a medium in which to manifest the true self, rehabilitating, and in this sense, the esoteric tradition based on the exercise of analogical thinking as the Kabala, the Gnosis, Alchemy and proclaiming at the same time, a clear and violent opposition to logical thinking, common morality, to the consideration of "generation" as an artistic effort even wider opening of the circuit poetic word.

So the young poet Lucio Giuliodori, analogically moved from its relationship psyche god-house, described the criticism that its interpretation is developed for examining and understanding dreams strictly ab imis, right into the souls of artists considered to be critical and becomes a poet, according to a journey that is: "..... Street Initiation to climb, to rise. / to awaken to the magic world of reading all the contrary. / And find him, the omniscient creator of a new reality / the Teacher. " (Water boy), where the concept of magic is clearly understood in the sense of the term and Bruno's, says an old axiom of initiation: "Visit innards terrae, rectificar invenies occultum lapidem" - they then causes the introspective poet knows the artists viewed and, with them, himself.

Lucio then Giuliodori, visit the works of various artists record in parallel and substantially the same, the multiplicity of forms corresponding to different life situations, still taken as a whole and become cosmic, and enhances creativity, subjectivity, sensitivity in the absolute primacy of the deep emotions that they themselves know how to lead, reconstructs its fantastic nature, imaginative and esoteric, with the love of the metaphysical and the misteriosofico that distinguishes it and becomes, at the same time, universal openness. For example, I quote from the beautiful island of the dead opera inspired by the famous painting by Arnold Böcklin, the verses read as follows: ".... Finally we live in a vertical / Frame (...) royal karma found. / ( ...) And the stones that exist, / beyond the dreams of the time, / are looking at each arrival. / island where no party ever. " which is so revealing metaphysical syncretism, all the anguish of our existence, while governed by karma, which is unseen and unknown law that fits with wisdom, intelligence and fairness every effect to its cause, and thus ascending to the one that produced it and even if he is unknowable, its action is certainly noticeable.

But in all the lyrics there are concepts that could be cited by the way, as the universalization of the poet have the ability to isolate, separate and then bring together various artists, configuring, mix, intersecting in the same synergistic relationship between them, in the presence constant number of symbols and archetypes that are also common heritage of mankind, despite the difference of Vis own that distinguishes each of them, that the poet knows how to seize and build, according to an abstract model and concrete, while the synthesis of innovative poetry, in which

Creativity is a mysterious and elusive, which is matter of being a man, that figurative art that inspired it and could not be otherwise, because it is imprinted in the realm of participation and passion of the trade mark in As Lucio Giuliodori lives his poetry with constant penetration until it becomes life itself in the sense of spontaneity and freedom, while in a halo of sacredness and mystery.

The result is thus a collection of refined culture, because the thoughts that bloom for Interassociation are likely to receive and transmit, in poetic flights, an alchemical presence where the reality is one dream, to travel in terms of consciousness, with the will to exist and, through others, to dream their dreams, on the wings of a cosmic world view and aesthetic intent in its epistemological a priori. He says the poet, in fact, in the lyric Hypergenesse de la reapparition: "Towards a world migliore. / Transformed inside / and you will get across the border. / Del surreal." And still Nymphes bathing, writes: "I paint are waves, petrified in the dream of a stunning spell, magic that can be grasped only with the third eye, difficult to communicate, especially to those who do not know how to understand, perhaps it was for that's what burned the flame of the "Campo dei Fiori in Rome back in 1600.

Processing literary-poetic, then, an experience that makes its author, speaking to the root of the invisible universe, as the image of the soul, through an unusual sensitivity of a particular medium is figurative art, making it even more tactile and visual, with the word magicosimbolica, when looking at the "Centre" and achieving a psychodrama and expressive means for analog.

In this sense, Lucio Giuliodori able to defeat entropy, interacting with his heavenly alchemy and, driven by a wind metaphysical poetry leads to a completely original and unusual where: ".... It is time, / of the beyond time, / the sky / and science. / It is the river on which it runs, / the meaning of each hero. " (TheChemical wedding), even if at the end of the collection, in the lyric Museum of Broken Dreams, writes in the conclusion: ".... Rhymes naive in a world of the deaf. "As if to express, through art seen, even a in altering their deep sense of mistrust.

The collection has been excellently translated into English by Ann McGarrell, which offers an extremely thorough and fair, which has the advantage of accuracy for interaction synonymic designed to read but highly significant variations, but never contaminatorie.

Real gem, then, knowledge and expertise the development of language, in accordance with the rhythm and expressive melodic structure of English and Italian at the same time.

While the reproductions of paintings, which then are those that inspired the poem by Lucio Giuliodori, go to create a unique place to provide a valuable aesthetic joy of color harmony, and cosmic and human elements that mark a limit to which you must return . The result is a text that can find the formula and the principle of locating the symbolism of the archetypes underlying characteristic of good poetry.
