The Art of Memory                    Archivio Aperto 17th edition                   

Refined and complex, memory is cultivated, according to an ancient tradition, with actual techniques. One remembers through images and spaces, in the well-known utopia of the memory theater, but also, as Giordano Bruno asserted, through feelings and emotions. Perhaps by remembering and feeling emotions, one actually thinks, as contemporary theories on emotional intelligence suggest.
