Human things often bear the same wounds as beings. This work, whose conception, gestation and delivery took place in the midst of the pandemic, bears the traces of this recent past. After four years of afterthoughts, we decided to publish it as a lasting testimony to that everydayness, unthinkable before then, which profoundly marked the consciences, behaviors and worldviews of each of us: rocambolic musical rehearsals by remote connection, secret meetings, performances with masks, contagion after-effects... Ironically, one could say that if instead of Dante the protagonist was Boccaccio, the signs of a pestilence would have been a perfect viaticum to the happy musical result. Technical artifices would have largely mitigated these scars; but we here want to display them as tattoos. At that time we could not even imagine or even hope to come out of that darkness “to see the stars again”; today a kind of damnatio memoriae towards those two years is widely spread.
