Emperors, families and friends
Sixty generations ago, two thousand years ago, one of our ancestors lived during the same days of Julius Caesar emperor. We can’t know where our ancestor lived, nor prove that he was Julius Caesar, even if no one forbids us from thinking so.
Certainly, however, our ancient fathers lived somewhere, in the Western world or, at most, in the Middle East.
The Gulf of Naples in the early imperial age was the scene of some of the most interesting historical events. The mild climate, the fertile soil, the natural and thermal water springs, the red sunsets, the fjords and the islands, as well as its strategic position, attracted personalities of the highest rank and of profound and refined culture.
Let's retrace their steps and relive those days thanks to the archaeological excavations, which never cease to amaze us.
Here's a reason to be interested in Archaeology: wherever you dig it's like leafing through the book of our roots backwards.

In Quest for the seed idea
Preface by the Author
In my 40 years in the tourism industry I had the opportunity to entertain myself among most of the archaeological sites and museums within the Campania region (South Italy) and I had the pleasure to discuss of art, myths, religions and other sciences with hundreds of educated people coming from different countries of mother earth.
The questions I have been asked throughout my activity triggered my curiosity in careful research and exciting cultural discoveries.
In this notebook, I discuss several instances of symbols dealing with mysteries and philosophical questions that have been fascinating humankind since the very beginning.
Usually the first reading is to understand Myths, the second to grasp the concepts, (the seed idea) the third to memorize them.
The Invisible and Us
Preface by the Author
In this essay we will make further considerations on what we are: quantum physics is unlocking some of the secrets of the universe and at the same time it is questioning many of the theories that have brought us to the present day.
The Quantum discoveries intersect, and surprisingly align, with thoughts that in the past had already been formulated in the religious and philosophical fields, as if the mere observation of the cosmos had allowed some people to access higher, broader and shared knowledge.
The questions that arise when thinking of the infinitely small (and invisible), as well as the infinitely imposing (and invisible), are the universal and existential ones:
who are we? But also: are we part of a shared entity, made up of memory and absolute knowledge? Can we knowingly access to it? How?
Between imagination and evidence
Preface by the Author
A true faith, to be so called, has to go beyond ethnicity, castes, institutions, borders, business, addictions, coercions, political persecutions. A true faith is heartfelt and free or is something different. 87% of the world’s population, approximately 6.7 billion people, follow some creed. They are called religions, transcendental philosophies, codes of coexistence, doctrines of control. The remaining part of people is made of individuals believing in local myths, derivatives of pseudo-religions and of others who, for different reasons, do not consider transcendence in any way. There is no doubt on the need to believe, the history of supernatural builds identity, gives meaning to life and is a hope for continuity. In this text are collected various version, imaginative, of the free thinker that I am, enriched by books and lectures by reputed physicists and theologians. What might have happened, issues of the present time and vision of the future are the subject and the uncertainty.
