One day in the prime of his life Alex, a successful architect, becomes obsessed with discovering the color of the wind. He heads out to sea in his yacht alone with no special destination in mind. Far from shore in the Atlantic Ocean, he encounters a beautiful, mysterious woman whose sensuous vitality open up a world of sight and sound he hasn't experienced before. She enflames his imagination and fills his sails with renewed dreams. Alex returns to his former life with a greater sense of wisdom and purpose, only to embark on another search. Told in poetic prose, Alex and the Color of the Wind is a romantic tale of the search for meaning, self-discovery and redemption. This romantic fable for our times affirms the power of the creative spirit in the often prosaic venues of our modern world.

About the Author

Piero Rivolta believes in weaving poetry into the prose of life. That is the way he thinks and that is the way he writes. Coming from a family of Italian automakers, he left his native country in 1980 for the United States, looking for a business climate that better suited his maverick personality and passion for innovative design. After becoming a successful real estate developer and boat builder, he turned his energies and resources toward the arts, founding an international chamber music festival in Sarasota, Florida. His fondness for sailing and love of music are matched by a desire to transform the language of the novel into a more poetic lyric.
