A just-published book that effectively relates music to life’s moments<\/em><\/p>\n

Music for a better and more intense life. But also with more concentration, or more light-heartedness, with a better soul, nourished by notes that make reality clearer, supported by melodies that make you more sensitive and attentive. But also to work, to relate, to produce more and better, to organise oneself in a different way. To take a different approach to creating culture – including that of the company.
\nAll these concepts will be at the forefront of the minds of those who read \u201cL\u2019arte dell\u2019ascolto: musica al lavoro\u201d (The art of listening: music at work), the latest literary work that Filippo Poletti, journalist and music expert, has decided to dedicate to the intense relationship between numerous aspects of life and music. He achieves this feat by giving voice to 120 individuals, each of whom represents a particular combination of music and everyday life.
\nInterview after interview, the reader immerses themselves in absolute listening, that is to say, in the art necessary for correct dialectics in the private and social spheres, essential for the good functioning of democracy, in society, in the family, in love, in friendship, in politics, in communication. An art, on the other hand, which seems to be increasingly forgotten by contemporary society.
\nThe protagonists – grouped into seven macro-categories: \u201carts and crafts\u201d, \u201claw and economics\u201d, \u201cscience\u201d, \u201cwriting\u201d, \u201csociety\u201d, \u201centertainment\u201d and \u201csport\u201d – are from all walks of life. From Al Bano to Francesco Alberoni, from Piero Angela to Piero Antinori and then Giorgio Armani, Enzo Biagi, Norberto Bobbio, Walter Bonatti, Mike Bongiorno, Renato Dulbecco, Dario Fo, Vittorio Gregotti, Umberto Guidoni, Margherita Hack, Enzo Jannacci, Krizia, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Alda Merini, Franco Modigliani, Indro Montanelli, Piergiorgio Odifreddi, Ottavia Piccolo, Nicola Piovani, Carlo Rambaldi, Gianfranco Ravasi, Antonio Tabucchi and many others, as well as industrialists such as Giacomo Ponti, Pietro Beretta, Ernesto Illy and others. To accompanying the reading is a playlist, L\u2019arte dell\u2019ascolto: musica al lavoro (The art of listening: music at work), published on Spotify. It includes 34 hours of listening to the pieces mentioned in the 120 interviews, from the Greek tragedy of Euripides to Monteverdi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini, Chopin, Verdi, Puccini, Rota, Pink Floyd, Vasco, Capossela or Swift.
\nThe stated aim of the book is to make those who read it become active listeners and followers of a music-life balance, that is, the balance between music and life, capable of making us feel at ease with ourselves and with the rest of the world. But “The Art of Listening” also says something else, like how much music can help at certain moments in life, when you are faced with certain choices (productive, existential, economic), when you have to set up new projects or teach you how to approach certain problems. Music, therefore, as an essential tool for living well in every possible way. Filippo Poletti’s book is worth reading and, of course, worth listening to.<\/p>\n
