Dedi Salmeri

Storytelling is my profession.
Writing is my pursuit.

VOICE

For more than three decades, I have worked at the intersection of strategic communication and storytelling, helping organizations, institutions and leaders shape their identity through language, narrative and vision.

Writing fiction is the natural continuation of that journey.

Here, the narrative voice that has always lived within me has found its natural continuity.

Writing novels means transforming emotions and questions into possible lives through the characters I create.

I observe, explore and question the human experience at its boundaries. It is there that stories begin to take shape.

Writing is not a single moment. It is a journey.
Every story opens a question that does not end with the final page.

It continues to unfold over time, through conversations and encounters.

It is a journey that belongs not only to the writer.

Because stories never belong only to those who tell them.

Emozioni Liquide

Emozioni liquide is a multi-generational novel that moves across different eras to explore what happens when we stop trying to control our emotions and begin to listen to them.

The title reflects the idea that emotions are never static. They flow, evolve and transform, just like the lives they inhabit. They are liquid because they move through time, relationships and memory, adapting, enduring and reshaping those they touch.

Moving between past and present, family bonds, life-changing friendships and identities in crisis, the novel follows characters whose lives fracture and gradually find new meaning.

Women are the quiet force that preserves memory, sustains relationships and guides moral choices.

By weaving together the 1938 racial laws in Fascist Italy and the international terrorist attacks of 2015, the novel reveals how freedom is rarely lost all at once, but one warning sign at a time.

Liquid Emotions offers no easy consolation.
It asks questions.

Tutto ciò che prima sembrava di altri, impossibile da vivere, diventa nostro, anzi, siamo noi, lasciandoci increduli, a metà tra meraviglia per l’ignoto e ritorno a casa, finalmente liberi di essere.

Erminia La Ferola

Sociologa

Emozioni liquide parla di fragilità, ma non le demonizza. Lo stile è garbato, veloce, metropolitano, ma il contenuto è tutt’altro che rapido. Fa riflettere.

Christiana Ruggeri

giornalista TG2 Rai, scrittrice

Emozioni liquide crea i nodi di una geografia emotiva dove passato e presente dialogano continuamente.

Stefano Ribaldi

autore e produttore tv

Punto forte di Emozioni liquide sono i dialoghi, ma non solo. Grande capacità narrativa a fondere i piani temporali e a amalgamare il tessuto familiare, sociale e politico.

Gigi Marzullo

giornalista, conduttore tv

FUTURO

La scrittura non è un episodio.

È un percorso. Ogni storia apre una domanda che non si chiude con l’ultima pagina.
Continua a lavorare nel tempo, nei dialoghi, negli incontri. Il mio cammino narrativo prosegue così: attraversando vite, ascoltando crepe, cercando il punto in cui qualcosa cambia.
Le emozioni che abitano queste storie non appartengono a una sola esperienza: si trasformano, prendono voce nei personaggi, si moltiplicano in forme diverse.È un movimento che non riguarda solo chi scrive. Perché le storie non sono mai solo di chi le racconta.
