A special guest will take the stage at GO! The songwriter and member of the iconic band Pooh, Red Canzian, will reveal a new side of himself, stepping away from his stage persona to share his personal journey through his book, Centoparole per raccontare una vita (Sperling & Kupfer).

About the Book:

Words have the power to stir emotions, help us grow, bring us pain, or soothe our souls. Each word holds within it a fascinating, complex world that shifts and evolves with the moment and the feelings we’re experiencing. Red Canzian has chosen one hundred words—those that resonate most deeply with him—and gives each a uniquely personal interpretation, sharing the memories they evoke and how they’ve shaped his life, his outlook, and his way of being. This book is an opportunity for Canzian to take stock of his life, both personally and professionally, as he reflects on pivotal experiences on and off the stage, the values that inspire him, the cherished relationships that offer him solace, and the projects he continues to pursue with unflagging enthusiasm. Above all, his wish is to reach the reader’s heart as well as mind, inviting them to join in deep reflections and emotions. Through vivid, thought-provoking suggestions, he inspires readers to dream, believe, and dare, always with passion, in search of new meaning for the word "tomorrow."
