When, long ago, Josephine Bassini, owner of the library of the Elves of Anguillara, I had contacted inviting them to submit the book Angel next door, I was impressed by that name and what it evoked in me the magic, fairy tales, gnomes and fairies, elves that live hidden among the branches of trees, with its Tolkien Celeborn and Galadriel , Shakespeare with his Oberon, king of the elves, and his wife, Titania, and even stories and histories, and wrap-around fantastic!
Saturday, February 6 And when I arrived at the gates of the old town of Anguillara, the rain stopped as if by magic to fall and the medieval walls gleamed in the sunset reflected in the old pavement.

What better place to present the book? And while The evening became night out there, there has lingered with stories of witches and ghosts handed down by grandmothers, deferring as much as possible the time to say goodbye.
I did not even noticed that behind me, between the branches of a tree that touched the red sofa on which I sat, perched a tiny elf with an open book resting on his knees, giggling alone. He had a funny red hat and pointed ears, and seemed to make fun of something.
