An almost illiterate immigrant from Italy to Argentina, wise and driven by the impulse to record fragments of his internal monologue. We could say that he discovers and invites us into the eternity of the instantaneous. Aphorisms that literally trap your thoughts on the fundamental matters of life. And invite us to a dialogue with them.

Circumstances led this human case to take a place alongside the greatest writers of aphorisms. There are as many Portcias as there are readers. Each person, according to their knowledge and sensitivity, forms a special and unique relationship with this work. The edition includes all of Portcia’s aphorisms and all the elements needed to understand the conditions of its creation.
