Very cleverly done, Gennaro! Re: the message: I did, eventually, but you held me up for a while! The slacker in 23a was new to me, and I had a different last letter for 12d for a while, so the South took some time.

Wow, the message took me far too long to find. Another amazing grid, Gennaro! I had a similar experience to Wolfgang's, with the south of the grid proving the hardest to fill. Cheers

Hahaha- I was going to say this was one of the easiest of your puzzles to solve until I remembered there was something more. It took me a good while to find it, and then I saw the genius at work! You’re an absolute master of this dark art Gennaro and I salute you for it. Of course you write good clues too- I liked the ‘careers’ in 14d and also 11a, 3d, 7d and 18d particularly. 23a beat me and I had a slight issue with two others…

Thanks Gennaro for the two puzzles, the cryptic crossword and the hidden message. The former, I more or less solved but I had to reveal 23a. My favourites were 10a, 18a, 22a, 17d and 18d. I haven't detected the hidden message yet.
