Oregon Arts Watch “2023 in Review: What we heard this year”
Born in Milan, Italy, Tiziana DellaRovere is an accomplished writer of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. She has written three librettos for new operas by composer Ethan Gans-Morse, as well as poetry for their program symphony, How Can You Own The Sky? and their oratorio of Covid pandemic stories, Six Feet Apart: Stories of Resilience and Transformation, as well as numerous art songs and choral collaborations.
Tiziana’s writings flow from her convictions about the cultivation of love as a fierce, courageous and down-to-earth power that can heal the heart of humanity. In all of her collaborations with Ethan, the healing power of love is presented experientially as a living, tangible connection with a vibrant life-force that each person carries within.
In addition to her work as poet and librettist, Tiziana is a published author whose works explore the rebalancing of the archetypal masculine and feminine, as in her books Sacred Fire: Rites of Passage and Rituals of Worship and Adorata: The Path of Enlovenment, and her upcoming The Sacred Lovers Within.
Tiziana studied law and philosophy in Milan, painting and sculpture at the California College of Arts and Crafts, and clinical psychology at San Francisco State University. Her writing, teachings, and paintings are unified in her devotion to bringing the mystical experience of the sacred into everyday life.
