Io e la vittoria: una bellissima ossessione

LABUM, the Urban Laboratory in Mottola, for the LARGO AI LIBRI series, presents a very interesting book written by a young author, Antonio Pinto, on Thursday, August 28, at 7:00 PM. The book is a genuine testimony of life, where the writer bares himself to show how the challenges typically encountered in the process of growing up, as well as in any evolutionary and change process for each individual, can be faced and overcome with courage, awareness, and determination.

Antonio Pinto outlines a path in the search for motivation to reach set objectives. In his autobiographical book, the author describes himself as a young man living in Puglia, in the Province of Taranto, in Grottaglie. Like all his peers, he goes through easy periods and problematic phases: at school, with friends, with first loves, with parents. Passionate about football, particularly Juventus, he dreams of becoming a sports agent. Upon entering university life, he struggles to take off; his efforts seem disproportionate to the results, and motivation is glaringly absent from his life. After experiencing profound discouragement, Antonio, also thanks to a mental coach, rediscovers himself, his potential, and reveals his true personality: the uncertain student has vanished, and now a determined and strong young man appears on the scene, ready to realize his projects and achieve his ambitious goals.

Thus, a true story, told by the protagonist, that can help many young and less young individuals regain self-confidence and the right motivation to achieve a full realization of their personality. Engaging in conversation with the author is lawyer Mina Panaro, president of the Carlo Schiavone Cultural Club, and an artist engaged in cultural dissemination activities.
