The Quicksands of the Riviera
Born and raised in Rimini, beyond the postcard and beyond the geographic borders of Romagna. A land he knows in every season — the energetic, sun-soaked summer, and the intimate one that remains once the tourists leave.
For more than thirty years he worked in tourism and hospitality along the Romagna coast, gathering the stories, rhythms, melancholy and joy of the people passing through. Noting faces, gestures, and small human signatures, he built over time the archive from which his pages now come to life.
Sirio Lumizia is a pen name, formed by anagramming the letters of the author's real name. Sirio, like the brightest star over the Adriatic Sea; Lumizia, with that final "z" that echoes the roots of his stories.
The debut novel opening the series devoted to Commissioner Carlo Sbatecàz — an investigator deeply bound to his land, moving through a mirror-image Rimini, solitary and evocative, between the winter seafront and the mysteries that resurface from the harbor at dawn.
The inaugural volume of the series. A unique sensory journey that brings the twelve zodiac signs into dialogue with the art of mixology. A work born from the meeting of thirty years of Romagna hospitality and a lifelong passion for drink culture, built around astral profiles, light and premium variations, and a home-bartending appendix.

The zero-proof companion to Spirits of the Stars — together, The Zodiac Bar: Day & Night. Twelve chapters built on the same premise as its companion: the guest who orders without alcohol isn't asking for less, and deserves the same glass, the same ritual, the same craft. Ginger's warmth standing in for proof, a shrub's living acidity giving the drink its spine — built sign by sign, from the same sensory logic as the original volume.
