With Carrese's phantasiology we are educated to see things behind things and
to read signs, letters and surprising alphabets in the shape of the world.

Massimo Gerardo Carrese
is a FANTASIOLOGIST and since 2006 he professionally deals with FANTASIOLOGY*. Over time he has given
to FANTASIOLOGY an unprecedented methodological guise so that it could become
an investigation tool to verify the complexities of thinking in relation to IMAGINATION,
IMAGERY and CREATIVITY. Specifically, he identified the following key words to
structure the interdisciplinary field of fantasiology: perception, association,
imagination, fantasy, reverie, creativity, reality, deepened in his writings
and meetings.
For Massimo Gerardo
Carrese, fantasiology is the critical and analytical study of the scientific,
humanistic, ludic and artistic aspects of imagination (the possible), imagery
(mental images) and creativity (technique and originality). Imagination-imagery-creativity
are the three essential words of fantasiology but to fully understand them it
is necessary to study perception, association, daydream, reality.
Since 2006 he has been
presenting his studies and research on fantasiology throughout Italy (also
abroad, especially with his publications). He has written numerous works on the
subject and presented various university, school and social meetings.
Since 2017 he has been
the creator and organizer of the FANTASIOLOGICAL FESTIVAL, with guests of
national and international importance.
