This 'salutary song' becomes a celebration of the richness of existence in all its forms that reaches moments of arresting beauty and great lyric intensity, as the poet acknowledges that his debt of gratitude to the world is far from being extinguished, and that he has not fully expressed his appreciation for having had the opportunity to read and interpret the signs of the great book of nature. Phrases and Passages of a Salutary Song can be considered Luzi's spiritual testament and one of the high points of contemporary Italian poetry.
