«Le virtù dell'ozio» is the philosophical essay by Armando Torno, published by Mondadori in hardcover (131 pages, in Italian).
The essay values leisure as a source of virtues: spiritual freedom, learning for pleasure, and preserving the human against profitability. It reviews the Latin otium, the Christian contemplative tradition, Petrarch's rejection, and the reflections of Montaigne and La Rochefoucauld, up to the socialist critique of modern civilization.
Published in 2001, it is the first edition; it is part of Mondadori's Saggi collection and includes an index.
A read for those interested in philosophy and in reflection on work, free time, and the role of contemplation in current life.
