The ever more advanced technology and above all the advent and diffusion of personal computers in every corner of the world they have made sure that the pen is hardly ever used anymore. Even in schools the "beautiful handwriting" is disappearing, although this aspect represents a very valid means of expression of our personality and our humanity.

Literally calligraphy (from the Greek κάλος calòs,"beauty", and γραφία graphìa, "writing" - source: wikipedia) is the art of ornamental writing and for this very reason, in ancient times, it was treated extensively in the cenacles of religious relevance, where it was possible to access the "art as a form of communication. In the West, calligraphy is traced back to the scribes Greeks and Romans and evolved in the Middle Ages with the creation of the illuminated manuscripts. In the Far East, where and symbols are outlined ideograms, brushes and ink have always been used; here the calligraphy (in Chinese, Shufa 書法, in Japanese Shodō 書 道, o "the way of writing" - source: wikipedia) is considered an "art of considerable importance not to mention the most refined and sought-after form of painting. In Arab countries, on the other hand, it assumes a purpose of "inspiration" and calligraphic schools were and are part of the curriculum of theology students.
Writing therefore represents a universal means of communication and dealing with calligraphy today means placing the accent on the rules of beauty and harmony that calibrate the shape of the letters. In Italy, in particular, the italics, or writing tilted to the right. This style instills a sense of great elegance, but also more confidentiality, and distances itself from the typical solemnity - for example - of roman uppercase. At the time, the papal Chancellery sent letters in this style to the various bishops, dignitaries and rulers, so much so that it became the real "royal" style. The Anglo-Saxons still today call italics "Italic ", precisely because it has always been characteristic of missives coming from Italy.
Prominent figures in the graphological panorama, Italian and world-wide, are Evi Crotti and Alberto Magni: Dr. Crotti, educational psychologist and journalist, directs a renowned school of graphology in Milan (the graphology is defined the technique whose purpose is the description of the personality characteristics of an individual, through the interpretation of his or her handwriting); he also collaborates with various newspapers and magazines, devoting himself with ardent passion to writing and psychology of the developmental age; Alberto Magni, surgeon and psychotherapist, is a great connoisseur of physiognomy (the discipline that deduces the psychological and moral characteristics of a person starting from his physical appearance, in particular from the features and facial expressions - source: wikipedia), as well as one of the leading experts in judicial calligraphic expertise.
The basic tool for the graphologist is the sign. There are so many of them, of signs, and they often differ by definition and evaluation from one school to another. Graphology is certainly one humanistic science in continuous evolution as the human being is in rapid and constant evolution; for this reason it is of fundamental importance that it dynamically updates both its methodologies and interpretations so that they can be applied correctly to today's man.
Graphology e fitness? According to Crotti and Magni yes: in their "Graphology and Health" (edited by Red Milano, 2006) they underline that if the graphologist will know how to work alongside the doctor and collaborate with discretion, seriousness and competence, may play an essential role not so much in the formulation of the diagnosis, as in the description and in the "deepening of the structure of the person, of the causes and contributing causes of the disease, of the process of formation of symptoms. Obviously, any graphological analysis cannot be separated from a "complete analysis of the personality structure, so the effective application of the writing test it must be performed by highly qualified personnel and absolutely cannot be improvised.
Again for Crotti and Magni a big advantage that graphology can offer is that it captures the difference between various reactions and clinical situations. For example, he can distinguish anger from anxiety, insecurity from one underlying weakness, a marked emotionality from sensitivity, judgment from critics. In the same way, graphology is able to identify the personality predisposed to ulcer rather than to eating disorders, personalities that will in turn be different from the one that will lead, for example, to suffer from cardiovascular disorders. It is no mystery that Hippocrates in the 5th century BC. had established the very close link between psyche And soma, as well as the reciprocal and continuous interaction between these two aspects of the human being; writing, in this context, is the integrated product of all brain activity which constantly undergoes the influence of the psyche and manifests itself by carrying all the messages received with it and then transferring them "calligraphically " on the white sheet.
One thing is certain: the use of this interesting humanistic science proves indispensable in those contexts in which a "thorough investigation of the personality, of the existing defense mechanisms, is a must, stress responses he was born in social maladjustment to which contemporary man is exposed.
