The story of Franco Novelli, author of Citizens of the World – Memories and Considerations on a Never-Ending Journey (now available on Amazon), arises from a simple and highly symbolic scene: a child who, as a child, sat at his desk and drew a picture of a ship. These are not ships imagined in later life, but images that belong entirely to the world of his childhood: lines that translate a nascent need to explore, understand, know.
In these pages, Novelli recounts a childhood built on deep observation and adult sensitivity. The picture of the ship is not just a game: it is the first way to shape a journey that will never stop developing. Childhood – for him – is not a closed chapter, but rather a lens through which to read the whole of existence. The child who draws the ship lives on as an adult who learns to navigate between places, encounters, emotions, and decisions. Citizen of the World is a testimony of a path deeply rooted precisely in the first simple movement, transformed forever into a symbol of the inner journey.
