Piera Di Salvio was born and lives in Cava de’ Tirreni, a charming village in the province of Salerno. From a young age, she nurtured a passion for literature, which led her to pursue humanistic studies. After graduating in Literature from the University of Salerno, she specialized in Modern Philology, experimentally delving into some linguistic aspects of Dante’s poem.
Her academic career and her love for writing in verse have led her to a genre that embodies the evocative qualities of music and expresses emotions and states of mind more incisively.
Her book, Paesi Inversi (Reversed Countries) , is indeed a lyrical collection reflecting the author’s experiences, memories, and her need for a sense of belonging to a land. The collected poems are primarily an exploration of the sentiment of love, embraced in all its forms: from passion to nostalgia, from joy to sudden and inevitable melancholy. With an authentic voice and a lyrical, enveloping style, the author invites readers to immerse themselves in her inner world, offering moments of reflection and emotional connection.
