Miguel Gane transforms Rome into a woman—a metaphor for a world in pain—who ceases to be a muse to become the architect of her own destruction and reconstruction. Because there is only one thing we can do in the face of pain: defend the light and try to heal it. This is a book of hope. “Rome, aren't you tired of being eternal?” “Yes.” “This is the book of all the people who have fallen and risen; of those who have managed to dance beyond fear; of those who, when everything was burning around them, found a reason to shine brighter than the fire. Rome Burning and You Dancing is the home of hope, of the places in life where, despite the darkness, you manage to look towards the horizon, towards the exit tunnel.” Miguel Gane surprises us with unprecedented poetry. In these pages, Rome is personified, acquires a voice, and rebels against the destruction of its own being. Rome is a metaphor for a dying world and, transformed into a woman, ceases to be a muse to become the architect of her own fire, her own fall and reconstruction. Like a phoenix from whose wings light emerges.
