Ad Saporem Vitae is an intimate epistolary novel that explores the flavors of a life shaped by different countries and personal transformations. Through a series of letters addressed to Mario, a symbolic reader, the author retraces her journey from Sicily to Barcelona, reflecting on ambition, sacrifice, love, loss, friendship, and self-discovery.
At the end of every letter, a question invites readers to reflect on their own lives and become part of the journey. Along the way, she writes to the people who left a lasting mark on her life, whether by challenging, hurting, or helping her grow. Inspired by the world of pastry and gastronomy, each chapter is linked to a different flavor, transforming memories into ingredients for growth.
Alessandra Ceresia was born in Palermo on September 15, 1996. Between Sicily, Barcelona, and Brussels, she has shaped both her personal and creative path. Ad Saporem Vitae is the opening chapter of an autobiographical trilogy born from the meeting point between memory, change, and the search for identity. She currently lives and works in Brussels, where she is writing the next two novels in the trilogy: Ad Augusta per Angusta and Ad Maiora Semper.
