The Night I Killed Kurt Cobain
Azzurra D’Agostino
The World Through Your Eyes
Coming of age
From the alien who shared the Sanremo stage with Ghali comes an illustrated book for both children and adults, written with Pierdomenico Baccalario.
An interstellar journey that offers a fresh perspective on Earth, exploring themes like equality, inclusion, and respect.
Rich Ciolino is a curious, unconventional alien who lands on Earth by chance. Through strange encounters and colorful cities, every experience becomes a lesson about our world and himself. In letters to his distant planet, he reflects on friendship, diversity, traditions, and the meaning of belonging.
His meeting with Ghali—a fellow dreamer—changes everything: together, they discover that music is a universal language that transcends all boundaries.
- With Baccalario’s storytelling and Rich’s innocent (yet insightful) gaze, this is a modern-day Little Prince who invites us to see the world from a different point of view.
- With a foreword by Ghali.
