Mare Nòstra — literally “our sea,” in an old Mediterranean dialect — is both a concrete voyage and an inner quest.

This work is meant as an adventure in the broadest sense: it tells the story of those who set sail, drawn by the horizon and the unknown, but also reflects the intimate path we each follow when confronted with our own tempests.

​

From the very first bars, one can hear the breath of the sea, the rolling of the waves, and the departure of ships. As the piece unfolds, the adventure intensifies: the ocean rages, the crew struggles against adversity, but ultimately prevails, carried by the call of discovery.

​

On a symbolic level, the sea embodies this duality: it is both disorientation and promise of freedom, chaos and rebirth, fear and exaltation. It represents humanity’s timeless desire to explore, to face the unknown, and to reinvent itself.

​

Mare Nòstra is, above all, an ode to adventure — outward and inward — and to the eternal fascination the sea has always held for the human soul.
