Figures of speech are literary tricks that are used to find the most effective expression, even at the cost of violating the rules of language. They have many forms and are sometimes classified in lexical constructions, other times in this simple lexical concordances between words.

In common parlance, however, they are called simply metaphors, thus creating a synecdoche that is the description of the whole with a part.

Order to better understand, we can compare these poetic instruments on simple mathematical operations. The poetic expression is then completed by the reader's imagination.

When you consider the following sentence:

"The lights of the city are like the stars for the boat"

city + ​​lights = boat + stars

the lights are used to move around in the dark
=
the stars are used to navigate in the dark

The lights are like stars.

This blog was created in 2012 with the first works and phrases romantic inspired by classical poetry. Later in the 2013 pointed towards a creative line with the testing of the open source project that is of poems by multiple authors. In 2014 he published My metaphors , a study of the figures of speech with new definitions and ad hoc examples. In the same year, to coincide with the Milanese works for the Universal Exhibition of 2015, led EXPO project concerning the representation of the most famous Italian dishes. In 2015 focused attention on those increasingly popular crafts as the grinder or the cobbler. It was also facing classical and contemporary art with the spread of cultural events of all sorts, but always presented in a poetic. In 2016 he held particularly to highlight developments on environmental protection.
