Hourglass of the Wind follows two lifelong friends, Lorenzo and Pietro, as they leave their small Italian hometown in search of something larger than themselves. What begins as a youthful journey soon becomes an intimate exploration of friendship, memory, and the quiet forces that shape who we become.
At the center of the story is Lorenzo's diary, a private space where imagination, fear, and hope intertwine. As their path carries them across Europe and into remote northern landscapes, the two young men are confronted with realities that challenge their ideals and alter the course of their lives.
Moving between inner reflection and outward adventure, Hourglass of the Wind is a literary novel about resilience, belonging, and the meaning of home. It explores what remains when familiar certainties are shaken and whether the places we leave behind ever truly let us go.
