When 26-year old Crito Di Volta is released after 10 years of psychiatric institutionalization, he develops and launches Mortarismo -- a new socio-political, psycho-spiritual, artistic movement-- with the aim of deinstitutionalizing, and eventually reconnecting with, all of humanity. Called "a major achievement of Literature," and "a poem that exceeds Allen Ginsberg's Howl in both authenticity and intensity," di Saverio’s epic hybrid Crito Di Volta is a strong pronouncement on civil rights, theology and art; and a daring revolt against the platitudes of contemporary Western society.
