Danilo Scastiglia, autore teatino si racconta:
di Carina Spurio
Il tuo primo book titled "Alchemy" (Edizioni Simple, 2009) consists of five stories that describe daily life without hypocrisy. What need to be born and what is the piu'interessante aspect of the text?
"Alchemy" was born from the need to describe situations of everyday life, without filters or censure, in a dry and more truthful as possible. Very often some writers try to write what they wish that readers would read. We do not put in play even describing things uncomfortable not sharing. I tried just that, talk about situations in life that happen everyday, in some passages even stronger. I mean in situations erotic when describing un'approccio between two members of either sex or what can sometimes happen on the first date. Anything you can share or not. The primary objective is to interrogate people who read my stories, stir the conscience and make history. I think this could be seen the various forms, I had the pleasure to receive.
You have received recognition at the national level. On November 7, 2009 one of the stories included in Alchemy was awarded the "1st International Competition of Poetry, Prose, and Visual Arts" organized by the nonprofit Ethereal window. Tell us ...
Participating in the international competition organized by the nonprofit Window Ethereal, allowed me to be able to know beyond local boundaries of my writings. A Cinisello Balsamo (MI), while I had the opportunity to meet so many motivated people, who eat with passion and love what they do, they write poetry, prose or dealing in painting or sculpture. All people who comment on the reality or dreams in a genuine and competent. From Trapani to Brenner. Having been one of the prize is Chieti Abruzzo has filled me with pride. You cite the reasons why they won the short story "The Fantastic Four."
"The author describes how runs the daily life of our times where misunderstanding, hope, love affairs are eaten and when they seem to run out, again, again. And luckily in the end it all comes back again but boringly something positive sprouts and lives ... "For you
writing is a passion or something that can not matter?
E 'was a dream cherished for many years, say, a passion that was often repressed or kept in the drawer. Then I do not have done more and I decided to reopen the passion that has never died down. And I must say that given the good results should be proud of myself. Writing sometimes makes you a therapy, allows you to express concepts or ways of looking at life that certain people very often have no desire but especially liver to listen ...
Do you think the publishing world is open to new talent?
I ask a question that is particularly close to my heart. Many do not know that for new talent emerging writers or the road is difficult and totally uphill. Many do not know that almost all the publishing houses, once they have read the manuscripts and giving opinion in favor of publishing the fees they ask you then also very expensive. I do not think that if you have what it takes to write at the same time must pay a fee, which most often suppresses the urge to write so many new talents. As you know even I found myself at a crossroads and I decided to take the road more difficult, difficult, but that is giving me many satisfactions. In fact, I have my self-financing and self-distribution in their "Alchemy". And considering that the book can be purchased by myself and in a single library, have reached nearly 250 copies sold is unbelievable. I want to emphasize also that the choice for my book to sell it because I think that € 9 reading of any kind it should not have cost too much for someone to devour books.
What are your favorite genres, those who feel more 'close to your way of being?
say that worshiping the narrative, I read different authors, I can cite Coelho, Brizzi, Irvine Welsh, Fabio Volo, I love Nick Hornby, or Bukowsky Zafon or Sheakspeare ... There would be others but I will stop here.
're working on a new novel?
Recently I finished translating "Alchimie" in English, because I believe the Iberian language is much more likely to accept my book, we'll see. In my new novel, few details are missing, not long in coming

Chieti What is your relationship with the city you live in?
As I think all writers who do not reside in a large metropolitan city. Ho avuto modo di sentirne la mancanza e di assaporarne tutti i pregi solo quando l’ho dovuta abbandonare per ben cinque anni per un lavoro in Piemonte. Tra pregi e difetti non cambierei mai Chieti con un’altra città. Chieti mi ha permesso di vivere e fruire di quella cultura e quella storia intrinseca di fascino che emana passeggiando per le vie storiche o ascoltando il misere il venerdì santo ad esempio….
Un sogno….
Riuscire ad avere un seguito più ampio grazie a ciò che scrivo, senza dover barattare nulla che coerentemente difendo…
Una dedica…
La dedica, forse a me stesso. Tantissimi non avrebbero mai creduto in ciò che sono riuscito a fare, ma diciamo che la dedica può andare anche a chi mi ha dato fiducia e sostegno e me ne darà ancora…
Un ringraziamento…
Indubbiamente a te Carina, che ti reputo prima di tutto una cara amica e poi una collega. E tu sai il perché. Ringrazio anche tutti coloro che hanno avuto l’occasione di leggere “Alchimie” e che attraverso il “passa parola” hanno fatto si che i miei racconti avessero l’opportunità di essere letti non solo a Chieti. Da Torino ad Ancona, da Verona a Como... Grazie a tutti ancora. Sostenete i nuovi talenti che non si vogliono arrendere a certe regole…
