Among Busi's spiritual fathers appear Laurence Sterne, Gustave Flaubert, Arthur Rimbaud, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Miguel de Cervantes and Marcel Proust. Busi puts the novel to the center of his production (he wrote seven) as he considers it to be the highest form of literature for structure complexity, aesthetic contents and expressive flexibility. Close observer of society and customs, particularly Italian ones, his characters reflect a deep psychological insight, and their fictional context is outlined with vivid impressionistic realism. Left-wing, feminist and political militant for homosexual rights, fervently anticlerical in his life and in his art, he published a serie of five «end-of-millennium» essays and six manuals «for a perfect humanity» that analyse contemporary socio-political issues and propose some guidelines to handle them in daily life. Because of his open stances and his straightforward language and depictions, he finds himself to be often in the middle of given and received lawsuits. Particular attention wins in 1990 the case of his fourth book "Sodomies in Elevenpoint", that receives a large media coverage but for which he is fully absolved. It will only be the parent of his legal proceedings, because the same fate will affect several of his future works, magazines and newspapers articles, and TV appearances. His extensive literary production includes also seven travel books (among which "Uses and Abuses"), two novellas, a collection of stories, two fables, a theatre play, a screenplay, two song books and two self-portraits. Indefatigable traveller, his reports from the five continents also consistently contribute to his fame as a valued narrator and observer. He occasionally writes also for newspapers and magazines. His personal research as a scholar of languages and as a translator from foreign languages leads him to also translate some works of the Italian Middle Ages and Renaissance from ancient to modern Italian, such as Boccaccio's "The Decameron", Castiglione's "The Book of the Courtier" (with Carmen Covito), Ruzante, and "The Novellino" by anonymous author of the 13th century (with Carmen Covito). According to Busi, nowadays several classics of Italian literature, including "Divine Comedy", are more known abroad than in Italy, because language update hasn't yet become a customary on the Italian literary scene. His translation of "The Decameron" will be awarded in 2013 with the Premio Letterario Boccaccio.
