Even though Fabio Mengozzi's work has often been characterized by a dream-like and seemingly Neo-romantic atmosphere, [30] it is deeply marked by a philosophical and numerological perspective. Such a peculiarity has many times earned the author the original title of Pythagorean composer in the contemporary music scene. [31]
