SELVA ROSSA was the title of Bologna during the middle ages, due to its appearance made of intricate maze of towers and conspiracies, for which the austere and violent aspect reflects in the basis of the music. The Italian language was obligatory to the concept even if incomprehensible to most, for the sense of belonging that ideologically charges the composition.
