Toni Pizzecco
Practical Optimism:
Think Positive!
Various formats
The author
Toni Pizzecco, a doctor and a musician,
lives and works in the Alto Adige region of
Italy. With specializations at universities in
Padua, Italy and Los Angeles, California,
he has operated humanitarian missions
in Tanzania, Nigeria, Brazil and India. An
emergency doctor for Flying Doctors of
East Africa, he founded the association,
“Doctors of Alto Adige for the Third World”.
The indispensible guide on how to instill positive thinking,
change your state of mind, and finally see the glass half full
Ottimismo in pratica
How does positive thinking work? This book explores the
world of the mind and the dynamics with which ideas are
formed in order to think well and live better. Many health
problems have a common denominator: the brain. The
author investigates its anatomy, physiology and how it
works, explaining how a simple idea can give us either
restful sleep or a restless night, how a negative mental state
in the long run can give us holes in our stomach while a
positive one can help us to overcome illness.
Our mind is exposed to a continual bombardment of
images, sounds, information that steal space from creativity,
calm and inner peace. The visualisation of a thought leaves
a positive or a negative mark on our mental equilibrium:
independently of our will, the body reacts to impulses and
orders from the brain. Through examples, stories of daily
life, lovely illustrations, this book teaches us how to modify
our behaviour in order to live better and, by explaining
the principles that regulate the mechanics of thought, it
proposes practical concentration and meditation exercises
to find the optimism inside each one of us.
Finally, it prescribes an easy solution to ridding ourselves of
anxiety: if we manage to concentrate on positive images
for at least 21 days, our subconscious will assimilate them,
allowing us to see new solutions to daily problems. A book
for getting into action, starting from what we have that is
positive in the “here and now”: health, family, friends, and
even small daily satisfactions.

Happiness: A full year of positive thoughts
Felicità. Un anno di pensieri positivi
The aphorisms in this book, accompanied by a wealth of photographs, form a sort of breviary that
provides guidance to the discovery of beauty in life.
Each of us in our daily lives may encounter the need for a little constant but undemanding guidance
that helps us find a positive outlook and peace every day. Here is an effective handbook for the inner
journey to discovering ourselves; a book that has been arranged into the months and days of a solar
year that attributes a thought to each, a little advice upon which to meditate throughout the day.
Thinkers, writers, gurus and great figures (from St Augustine to Osho, from the Dalai Lama to Rob
Brezsny) provide ideas for reflection and encouragement to make each day better. Once a month,
tips and exercises are given for self-concentration and positive energy: muscular relaxation, training
in small daily pleasures, attention to others, breathing techniques. A simple and effective way to
connect with oneself, those around us and the profound essence of our existence, managing to
conquer stress and down-size daily problems.

Maria Letizia Polverini
Maria Letizia Polverini,
Free Your Home of Clutter & Change Your Life
af ter
attaining a degree in languages and
a period of teaching, she worked for
many years in an insurance office at
the United Nations, spending her time
travelling the world. For many years she
has been devoted to oriental culture and
traditions, convinced that the principles
and disciplines such as feng shui can also
be successfully applied to the western
lifestyle. She is a decluttering expert and
is convinced that only by letting go of the
superfluous can space be found for novelty
and change thus warding off anxiety and
depression.
Getting It Together:
L’arte del riordino
A Western/European very practical approach to the
basic Feng Shui principles.
Often we are surrounded by hoards of useless
objects that collect negative energy in the home
environment and, as a result, in our relationships at
work. This book reveals all the secrets for making
space, at home and in life in general, with its great
wealth of content, focus on self-evaluation for
reflection and improvement, clear fresh graphics
and amusing illustrations. Adjusting the principles of
feng shui to suit western lifestyles, the manual offers
an effective and well-tested method of rearranging
spaces and exploiting positive energy, establishing
a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The author
explains how to rearrange your house room by
room, also addressing tidying up balconies, cellars,
the car and the garage, and the office. The first job is
to eliminate accumulated things and then continue
by putting back bedding and towels, clothes,
accessories and documents. There are, of course tips
on shopping without making pointless purchases,
how to pack a suitcase strategically, throwing away
old clothes before your return. One chapter is
dedicated to young people, students living away
from home, die-hard singles and separated couples.
Two tests and useful hints at the end of each chapter
help you stay focussed on problems and solutions,
whilst the “maintenance diet” helps you not to fall
back into chaos.
Tidying your surroundings opens the way to real
changes on emotional and psychological levels.

La dieta vegetariana flessibile
anche per onnivori
In Italy there are over 4 million vegetarians;
an ever increasing number but, despite the
undeniable health benefits, nourishment that
depends exclusively on vegetables does not
satisfy the needs of many. This book offers
the solution: The Flexible Vegetarian Diet, a
complement to the vegetarian diet that does
not totally exclude animal protein, a realistic and
gratifying way to eat more vegetables without
giving up your favourite dishes. Following a
comparative analysis of food trends, the manual
provides guidelines for the composition of
the Flexible Vegetarian Diet, that prescribes 5
daily portions of fruit and vegetables (60% of
the recommended quantity) seed cereals and
wholemeal bread (20%), legumes and oily seeds
(10%), with 10% “flexi-space” reserved for meat,
fish, egg, dairy and even comfort foods, with
varying and customised frequency according to
lifestyle. The book suggests 11 daily diet plans
suitable for 11 different lifestyles: for those who
work or study at home and have to fight against
nervous eating; for those who have non-stop or
irregular timetables; for those who are always
travelling; for those who have to strengthen their
defence systems; for those who are cooking for
the whole family; and for those who have ups
and downs in anxiety or weight.
The Flexitarian Diet suits everyone, from
children to pregnant women, from adults to
grandparents; it presents all the health benefits
of a vegetarian regime whilst overcoming the
restrictions, allowing the occasional concession
for protein of animal origin.
The first Italian book on this subject, following
the great success of The Flex Diet by D. J. Blatner
in the U.S.A. at the top of the ratings of the best
diets in 2015 according to U.S. News.

devised to offer all the useful
instruments to reach, with precise
dietary styles, well-being and a
healthy body-mind balance, in the
light of an integrated therapeutic
vision, in which western scientific

crossing point with the principles
of traditional Chinese medicine and
macrobiotic cuisine.
The author

practice and a correct diet.
Food For Balance Between
Body and Mind
Il cibo, sorgente di bellezza
In accordance with the core principles of
traditional Chinese medicine, Elena Alquati
illustrates how food – energy in continuous
transformation – can act positively on the
functions of five fundamental organs in the
human body: liver, spleen/pancreas, heart,
lungs and kidneys. To rekindle harmony, it is
fundamental therefore to consume foods that
rebalance the energy deficit inside the organs
and avoid those that generate them. The author
points to them in detail, providing recipes and
remedies with specific rebalancing functions.

to preserve articulation through prevention, a natural and decisive
therapeutic model, based on the adoption of correct lifestyle, correct
diet and assumption of special supplements, whose efficacy has been
scientifically proven. After having described what happens when a
person develops this condition and formulating an identikit of the
sufferer, Professor Lanzetta lists the ten foods to be avoided and the ten
to be included in daily diet to fend off pathologies that may appear in
joints, giving precise indications on the choice and proper combination
of foods. There is a special section dedicated to the presentation of
the diet and various steps that characterise it (First phase: eliminating
toxins; second phase: transition; third phase: stabilisation). The volume

recipes with specially studied meals for adopting an anti-arthritis diet.

Floral Design – Made in Italy
The authors
I fiori e lo stile
The Italian style in floral design, bound up with the tradition but
also capable of great innovation, is here represented by wonderful
photographs of more than thirty original sets of tables and houses.
Maria Luisa Rocchi’s experience as floral designer was born in
Rome, in the vast historical buildings, enriched with the attention to
international masters like Daniel Ost, Jeff Leatham, Rob Van Helden,
which projects are well showed in the book. Strong points of Maria
Luisa’s art are her accurate technique and her delicate sensitiveness.
The variety of sets and occasions gives a wide overview of her
unique style: whether it is about decorating a table for an important
public event in Palazzo Colonna, or a private lunch.
The text, written by Laura Pranzetti, expert of contemporary habits
and customs and of etiquette, is lively and brilliant. The dialogue at
the beginning of the book between her and Maria Luisa Rocchi
shows how their over ten-year intense friendship positively affects
their business partnership. The still-life photographer Giuliano Di
Mauro made the most of the atmospheres, transmitting through
his camera the life and freshness of flowers.
Maria Luisa Rocchi
has a
longstanding passion for flowers. In spite
of her degree in pharmaceutical medicine,
she has qualified herself in Italy and abroad
as flower designer. She opened her first
show room in Rome and quickly became a
reference point for the prestigious parties
of the Italian capital due to her high quality
designs.
Laura Pranzetti Lombardini, after
two degrees and years as a teacher, she
devoted herself to the study of the rules
of etiquette and to social relations. She
has written for Giunti Editore Il Galateo
delle relazioni quotidiane and is regular
contributor to the daily T V program,

Functional Training
Mind and Body
Various formats
The author
Andrea Turri is a personal trainer,
specialising in the functional training
sector. He prefers free movement and the
use of special equipment like kettlebells.
He works free lance at people’s homes
and at qualified centres. His has a holistic
approach, in which he pays a great deal
of attention to breathing, suppleness and
posture.
The method for finding fitness and self well-being
Allenamento funzionale
Il metodo per trovare la forma fisica e stare bene con se stessi
Our bodies have been programmed for movement and physical
activity, but we tend to forget it, forcing it into the prison of
a sedentary life. Even when we go into the gym, we often
limit our exercise to weight training – with our eyes set on a
monitor perhaps – without really entering into contact with
ourselves. A sedentary life has a heavy impact on our health and
mental balance. To counter not only back ache, painful joints,
bad digestion – but also stress and depression – the author
proposes specific programmes of “functional” training, a form
of “free” movement that does not require the use of equipment
and which unites movement with breathing awareness. By
concentrating on what we are doing, “listening” to the body
and the mind without being distracted by the chaos of an open
space gym, will permit us to find the harmony and balance
that are at the basis of our psychophysical well-being. In this
book, Andrea Turri suggests training programmes that are
suited to different ages and life styles. The reader is placed in a
condition to be able to start a personal training plan. The book
is completed by a complete collection of photographs with step
by step explanations of the exercises illustrated.

Training Your Body, Training

Resistance Sports as the Gym of Life
Allenare il corpo, allenare la mente
Gli sport di resistenza come palestra di vita
This volume proposes a new approach to sport, starting from
a very simple theory: training your body and doing physical
activity is not only a way to contribute to good health, does
not only encourage us to adopt a healthy lifestyle, neither is
it effective in reaching top competitive results. Doing sport is
also an effective tool for training our minds and acquiring skills
that have important effects on the way we plan. Regular sport,
particularly resistance sports, teaches us method, that we might
successfully apply to different spheres of life – from work to
study, free time – every time we have to reach an objective or
plan something, manage stress, prove our perseverance, sense
of responsibility and discipline, establish what our priorities are.

Ayurveda. Il massaggio ayurvedico e I
trattamenti di Purva Karma: una via di
Karma Yoga
Ayurvedic massage and Purva Karma yoga techniques
can prove very effective in the treatment of numerous
pathologies that threaten our psychophysical well-being.
The author guides the reader on a journey to the
discovery of the profound harmony bonding man
to nature. This is the first fundament of our health
according to the Ayurveda: perfect balance between
mind and body. Illness is a sign of disharmony inside
us, and between us and the nature of which we are a
part. From this starting point, author Letizia Vercellotti
traces the basic aspects of Ayurvedic practices from the
fundamental theoretical principles to the Ayurvedic
vision of anatomy and human physiology to the precepts
for a healthy life.
The core of the book is made up of the analysis of
various therapeutic techniques, beginning with the
Ayurvedic massage, which requires no manipulation but
is performed by allowing warm essential oil penetrate
the seven layers that form the human body. This oil is
responsible for curing the imbalance that is creating
problems in the patient.
The volume concludes with a chapter about training
Ayurvedic operators and a series of anecdotes, such as
the choices of therapeutic techniques discussed, which
seek to make the topic easier to understand for the
western reader.

to educate your dog without it resembling
constraining, to identify and correct that behavior
that can turn into bad habits, to strengthen its
positive aspects. The book is richly illustrated with

simplicity and clarity by one of the biggest names
in Italian dog training. When you decide to open
the doors to a four-pawed friend, you have to have
an idea of his maintenance costs, be prepared to
make sacrifices and recognise well the potential and
talents of the animal, to avoid forcing him to adapt
to a style of life that is not suited to his needs. Valeria
Rossi puts her experience as breeder and trainer at
the service of the reader, addressing all doubts and
giving useful suggestions to those who intend to
visit shelters and kennels to meet their future life
companion. With an important detail: it is not a

Homeopathy for Dogs and Cats
Omeopatia per cane e gatto
An increasing number of dog and cat
owners wish to treat their beloved pets with
homeopathy. Mariolina Cappelletti, vet and
journalist, explains how in a simple, clear and
easily consultable book, useful to anyone
wanting to expand the principles of the
therapeutic model and its application to animal
health. When conventional medicines do not
work or are not tolerated, in the face of acute and
chronic illnesses that require lengthy treatment,
homeopathic remedies constitute a valid
alternative in order to guarantee the health and
wellness of our four-pawed friends, preventing
the collateral effects caused by pharmaceuticals.
Many pathologies can be cured by homeopathy
from asthma to viral infections, gastrointestinal
or urological upsets to autoimmune pathologies.
Homeopathic formulations have proved decisive
in curing behavioural disorders due to phobias,
aggression and mood changes and constitute
a valid support for traditional therapies in the
cases of trauma or, when necessary, for pain
killing.
The work is completed by a homeopathic
repertory, with single active principles used in
veterinary homeopathy and their application in
therapy.

Terapie e cure naturali per cane
e gatto
This choice also arises when we care for our fourpawed friends: traditional or natural medicine?
In this book, the author addresses the needs of
those – and the number is continually increasing
– who opt to learn more about therapies and
natural remedies to assure the good health
of dogs and cats. The aim is to protect these
animals from the risks and side effects caused
by heavy use of drugs and vaccines, but also
by stress, from allergies to the appearance of
chronic pathologies, like diabetes, becoming
more common among pets. Guiding us through
the a discovery of holistic medicine for animals,
Mariolina Cappelletti tells us about the main
disciplines - from Bach’s flower remedies to
aromatherapy, from traditional Chinese medicine
to veterinary phytotherapy, from chiropractic to
crystal therapy – clarifying their use in veterinary
medicine. The work is completed with a useful
fact file on the main pathologies of dogs and cats
that can be solved by using natural remedies.

Goodbye My Pet!
Hardcover / 12x16,5 / pp.128 / € 9,90
More and more frequently, families
choose to expand, thanks to the
presence of a pet, which to all intents
and purposes, becomes a family
member. To the love and comfort,
sometimes unexpected, that our
friends can give us and our families,
we must add the pain caused by
their progressive weakening, in
the event of illness or age, and
eventual loss when they die. As with
the death of a loved one, we find
ourselves facing a true bereavement,
which is often belittled and even
laughed at by people who have
never experienced such a thing.
The books proposed, focus on the
characteristics of a relationship with
the dog and the cat, help us deal
with illness and the death of a pet,
overcome the suffering of the loss
and preserve positive memories
of the experience. The author also
gives useful advice about how to
explain the event to a child.

Why Our Beloved Dog Will Never Leave Us
Why Our Beloved Cat Will Never Leave Us

How to Relax Your Dog
Come calmare il cane
Ever heard of “calming signals”? No?
Yet all dog owners should know perfectly well that their pets
enact a series of clear bodily and olfactory signals when they find
themselves in a situation of discomfort; signals that are intended to
seek pacification, for example, towards an opponent, and to exercise
self-calming and reassuring action. Indirect approach, turning the
head to avoid eye contact, yawning, winking, not moving, licking
nose and lips, pretending not to see the other dog are just a few of
these signals, which are important to know and understand in order
to manage situations that can upset your life companions.

Dogsitting
Long gone are the times when just anyone could set themselves
up as a dog sitter, certain that the only job requirement for looking
after other people’s pets is to love animals and to have a strong
enough stomach for picking up poo. Being a good dog sitter, in
fact, demands precise preparation and aptitudes, fundamental
for convincing any pet owner to entrust their companions to you
even for a short walk. This book, devised to offer a service that is
as serious and complete as possible, provides in a straightforward
and schematic way, all necessary suggestions, also fundamental for
those who have to leave their beloved pet to another person, and
need to recognise and choose the right person.

Understanding Your Horse
For a Better Relationship
Comprendere il cavallo
Per migliorare il rapporto con lui
A book about horses that is profoundly different from any other, a guide to understanding
equine logic engagingly written by two great experts. Francesco and José De Giorgio take
us on a fascination journey to discover the most authentic aspects of our relationship with
this splendid animal.
It takes the reader into a dimension where relationships are free of tensions - no leadership,
dominance or other control assumptions. It is a dimension based on the knowledge of
the social, emotional and mental abilities and needs of the horse. An animal, curious and
driven by his own inner motivation to explore and understand the world around him,
including his relationship with humans. The book sheds a light on the many beliefs and
habits currently held in the relationship with horses, and animals in general, and opens the
doors of perception to see horses from a different point of view; their point of view.

My Simple Garden
Il mio giardino semplice
Caring for plants is a life-long hobby and teaches
us many things. This is the reason why Silvia
Bonino wanted to write this book: it brings
together her practical gardening experience
with her knowledge of psychology that have
both been the spice of her life. The result is a
guide to stress-free gardening for the whole
family. One of the most established names on
the Italian scientific panorama and at the same
time a dedicated gardening lover, Silvia Bonino,
in this impressive union of psychology and
cultivation techniques, reveals to her reader a
pathway that through caring for your garden
leads to rebalancing yourself, your family and
helps children during development. The result
is a garden as a physical place that reflects
simplicity that should be the guideline to
human relations. For this reason clear indications
are given about what to do and when, with all
the experience of a person whose profession
enables her to help others find the good in any
situation.

Suddiviso in due sezioni, il frutteto domestico e il giardino ornamentale, questo manuale risponde a tutte le domande e dubbi sulla potatura e sugli innesti.
Accompagnati da un ricco apparato iconografico, si spiegano i differenti metodi di
potatura dei fruttiferi, le esigenze delle diverse varietà arboree, cosa fare per mantenere le piante in salute e come regolarne la produttività, come intervenire in caso
di inconvenienti di crescita e molto altro ancora. Inoltre per riprodurre le piante
migliori, si illustrano gli innesti più adatti alle
singole specie, quando realizzarli e gli accorgimenti da tenere presenti per operare nel modo corretto.
Nel giardino ornamentale, la capacità
dell’uomo di intervenire sulla natura per
guidarne il comportamento assume la sua
manifestazione più alta con l’arte topiaria.
Forgiare sculture arboree significa non solo

I messaggi segreti del corpo
The word communication immediately conjures
up an idea of the words we use to “speak”, “say”,
“inform”. But this way we forget the rudimentary
language that everyone has in common: body
language. Body positions, as a whole and as
individual parts, movements, tics, small gestures
we pay little or no attention to, are revealed as
carrying the true meaning of our thoughts, our
fears, and desires. Understanding this language
can help us in all our social relations and more
so in a working environment, where rapid
interpretation of a facial expression, the beginning
of a movement, a change of expression is
becoming more important than ever.

Guides
Cod. collana C0005110
Softcover with flaps
Cm 10,5 x 19 / pp. 128-160 / €14,50
A series of guides intended for those
increasingly numerous members
of the public, who love travelling
slowly and discovering the land on
foot.
The guide books in the new
collection “Weekend Walking”
offer itineraries which are amongst
some of the most evocative from an
environmental and historical-artistic
point of view or in places that are
bursting with history, with accessible
routes even for less expert walkers,
as the level of difficulty is never too
high. Each itinerary lasts three days,
with an extra one for those who want
to “treat themselves to another day”.
After a general introduction that
outlines the itinerary, each day of
walking is presented with a full set of
technical and practical information: a
detailed map, information of altitude
differences, difficulty and time
requirements, plus tips on where to
eat and sleep along the way.
It is the author himself that makes
this series special, Enrico Brizzi,
considered the “travelling writer”
par excellence on the Italian scene,
author of authentic ventures in
this sector, which, on a number of
occasions, have taken him along the
proposed itineraries.
Enrico Brizzi
A Trip Around the Altipiano
Il Giro dell’Altipiano
The Plateau named Sette Comuni, noted as the backdrop for the literary production
by Mario Rigoni Stern, is the first mountain Contrada that you come to as you head
north from the Venetian plain. Once a Cimbrian enclave, for centuries it was secluded
from events on the plains. Allied with the Venice Republic from the 1800s, it lost its
autonomy in Napoleonic times and saw many of the most devastating battles of the
Great War. The slide at Calà del Sasso, which runs alongside 4444 steps cut into the
rock, unite the Brenta valley and the plateau; it was used by Cimbrian lumberjacks to
drop tree trunks for the Serenissima to the bottom of the mountain. It is famous as the
longest stairway in the world and extends up a gentle slope through the heart of the
woods, making it quite suitable for families with children. Once at the top, you walk
over the Col del Rosso and take the Via Tilman. This takes you to Asiago, where over
the next two days you will walk along the “Via della pace”, which links some of the
most evocative spots of the ’15-’18 conflict. The appendix contains some suggestions
for continuing towards Trento or Monte Pasubio.

Il giro del Levante
The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri is famous for being the first long-distance
trekking route in Italy outside the Alpine chain. Amongst its records, the
most coveted is its careful organisation: perfect signposting, posts every
kilometre and a specific information line available to hikers 24/7. In this
way, even the most inexperienced hiker can tackle the majestic silence of
the beech woods and the inland Liguria ridges to walk from one village
to another, reaching the point where a view of the sea opens before
your eyes. The itinerary presented here, in fact, leads from the Apennine
watershed to the villages of the Cinque Terre, concluding the journey
with a dip in the water of the Liguria Sea.
La classica Toscana
From the pine woods of Versilia, squeezed between the majesty of
the Apuane Alps and the sea, we set off towards one of the prettiest
cities in Italy: Lucca, still crowned by its city walls and treasure chest of
medieval wonders, owes a good part of its antique prosperity to the
fact that its location along the medieval European “Pilgrim’s way” – the
Via Francigena that cuts across the Old Continent from the banks of the
Channel all the way to Rome. The city has always known how to welcome
people arriving with a bag on their backs, and it is no coincidence that
one of the most famous mazes – a symbol that in the Middle Ages
represented the traveller’s condition itself – is here, set at the entrance to
the ancient Cathedral of San Martino. The Altopascio and the old Medici
Cappiano Bridge lead us towards another of the most well-known places
in Tuscany: San Miniato. From here we can reach Empoli, the capital of
ceramics, Montelupo Fiorentino, and Florence itself, where we will find
more gentle access to the Parco delle Cascine, along a footpath on the
water’s edge.
