Lily Star is a selection of modified texts, anthropological annotations, anecdotes, fake names and speech fragments collected and then assembled by sound researcher Enrico Malatesta during several years of employment as a fireworks seller.

The books presents a flow of information concerning the socio-cultural and ecological implications, the rhetoric of trade, the rules, the semantic aesthetics of nomenclatures and descriptions, the aberration of use of fireworks and the sound & light synesthetic presence of pyrotechnics in different contexts of celebration and entertainment.
