Tradition and avant-garde of Twentieth Century poetry

These are precious and rare audio-visual documents  coming from the archives of Rai Teche, concerning poets and figures of the Italian literary Twentieth Century: from black and white videos taken from the historical cultural transmission of Rai L'Approdo, to relatively recent films such as those of L’Ombelico del Mondo, a Rai Educational program dedicated to poetry.

In this way La Voce Regina 2 - tradition and avant-garde of Twentieth Century poetry, a selection of videos curated by Niva Lorenzini and Enzo Minarelli, which includes, on the experimental side, poets such as Pagliarani, Porta, Giuliani, Sanguineti, Balestrini, Vicinelli, Leonetti, Zanzotto; as far as tradition is concerned it includes Merini, Pasolini, Luzi, Bigongiari, Bertolucci, Ungaretti, Montale, Saba, Penna, Caproni, with a coupler of exceptional documents about Ezra Pound and Louis-Ferdinand Céline.

Finally, the presence of younger poets with their performances, such as Rosaria Lo Russo, Enzo Minarelli and Lello Voce, should be noted.
