Abstract

Andrea G. Sciffo is a scholar who carries out his research in different directions: since the eighties, he has sought above all in musical experience (The Beatles, The Waterboys, Thelonious Monk, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, PMG_Pat Metheny) the key to access to the transparent harmonies of reality. Here the unforgettable meeting with the geopoet Davide Sapienza should be noted. Secondly, his direct vocation to poetry led him to the regions of the great European lyric poets of the past, up to the baroque poets of the late seventeenth century (Lorenzo Magalotti and C.M.Maggi above all), to finally delve into the occult teaching of Maurice Maeterlinck. Among living poets, he enjoys the friendship of Giovanni Casoli. The third path led him to rediscover the arcana of tradition as evergreen and perennial fruits for living in the present: the personal meeting with witnesses such as Mario Marcolla and Eugenio Corti allowed him to access Rodolfo Quadrelli, Ivan Illich and the work omnia by Elémire Zolla. He graduated in "Adult Education" at the chair of Professor Duccio Demetrio (University of Milan), with a thesis on alchemy and pedagogy. His best writings are dispersed in articles, volumes and studies published on www.ilcovile.it
