Alda Merini
When anguish
Alda Giuseppina Angela Merini was born in Milan on 21 March 1931. She wrote poetry since she was very young and continued to write it despite her mental illness, with frequent admissions to mental institutions and a host of other difficulties which marked her life. She was proposed for the Nobel prize in 1996 and in 2001, received the Premio Librex Montale for her poetry in 1993 and the Premio Viareggio in 1996 as well as other awards. Alda Merini died in Milan on the 1st of November 2009 aged 78. She is considered one of Italy’s literary giants of the Twentieth Century "When I began this project I knew little about Alda Merini. My wish was to pay homage to an important artist who had passed away. I now know that she was not only a great poet, but also a talented pianist and a beloved show woman who attracted large crowds, even when, an elderly lady, she appeared on stage humbly dressed and leaning on her walking stick. Most of all, I have grown to love her intellect, her sense of humour, and her irrepressible humanity. Now, after spending two years in her company, I realise that I will miss the daily contact with this superb poet. She has been such an original and entertaining travel companion and I am grateful that she shared some of my journey." (Patrizia Burley)
Patrizia Burley migrated to Australia in 1969, a recent graduate from the University of Rome and the new wife of a promising, young Australian academic she had met in Cambridge. They have four children and two grandchildren. Patrizia Burley’s professional experience spans about 40 years. She has lectured in Art History and Italian Studies and in Interpreting and Translating Studies in Australian and Italian Universities. She has worked as a freelance interpreter, a translator and a radio journalist in Australia and Italy. Patrizia is a prize winning poet. Her work is published in Italy.

Riverso internazionale: vola in Australia con Alda Merini
BUSTO ARSIZIO - Il nostro cartoonist Tiziano Riverso non finisce mai di stupire. A lui, infatti, è stata affidata la copertina della raccolta di poesie di Alda Merini realizzata da Patrizia Burley, docente del Politecnico di Milano, ora residente in Australia. Il volume sarà presentato in occasione della Settimana della Cultura Italiana a Melbourne, nel mese di novembre.
Ma non è finita: “Mi aveva chiesto di realizzare alcuni disegni su Alda Merini, e così ho fatto. Poi ho pensato di coinvolgere una quindicina di disegnatori italiani che avevano trattato il tema della poetessa”, spiega “Tiz”. Così, ecco realizzata una mostra, in concomitanza con la presentazione.
Questi alcuni dei disegnatori che Riverso ha coinvolto, grazie a Raffaella Spinazzi (curatrice dell’umoristico internazionale “
Fany-Blog”): De Angelis, Nardi, Magnasciutti, Uber, Biani, Palazzo, Alfieri, Beduschi, Sanna, Grieco e molti altri ancora. “Mi sembrava dovuto un omaggio alla poetessa proprio dai colleghi - racconta Riverso - che ben contenti hanno dato la loro disponibilità”.
La manifestazione, inoltre, ha un sapore davvero internazionale: dopo Melbourne, girerà l’Australia, per poi approdare nel Bel Paese.
Ecco, di seguito, la copertina di Riverso e alcuni disegni della mostra
Nota:
Finalmente il 19 ottobre la presentazione del libro di Alda Merini, con la copertina di Tiziano Riverso, in Australia!!!!
ed annessa la mostra di disegni per Alda dei maggiori disegnatori italiani raccolta da FANY BLOG
