On the GO stage, Valerio Mieli presents his latest book Scelgo tutto (La nave di Teseo).

The book:
One boy, two possible lives told in parallel. In one, he stays where he grew up; in the other, he leaves in search of freedom. Cosimo is at the age when major decisions about the future must be made—even if he would gladly avoid making them. One evening, a woman invites him to turn his life around, and two worlds suddenly open before him. On one side: adventure, art, an extreme life. On the other: the building of love and family. Ambitions, sorrows, regrets, and laughter will shape Cosimo, until both lives are crossed by a decisive encounter, and by a question: is there only one right path to happiness?
