“Anima I was composed following a moment of intense recollection and meditation. Moments in which I seek answers to how to defend ourselves from a world that pushes us more and more towards materialistic values ​​and beliefs, where there is no more space for the sacred and the spiritual, where appearing is more important than being. I love to retire into places that tell of another way of conceiving life and its beyond, such as the Church of San Michele Arcangelo – whose foundations date back to the 1300s- situated in Cerreto, ancient and tiny medieval village, now practically uninhabited.

A place of a poignant essentiality where without any warning in 1960 the frescoed ceiling with images depicting the dark sky studded with silvery stars collapsed as if to open a passage to the beyond.” — Olivia Belli
