“GIORGIO

It’s
playing in English with a dialect word from the cinematic
poetry of Fellini, such as “amarcord”,

of Giorgio Morandi’s nature morte (still lifes),

critics and readers: LA NATURA MORTA DE LA DOLCE
VITA. A mysterious Morandi in the matrix of the Fellini’s
vision (Bloc-notes Edition – IIC-New

of New York City, last December 2008, in conjunction with
the great Morandi’s retrospective at the Metropolitan
