Sunday 5 May at 5pm to the Borgo Dei Crivellari of Riolo Terme (RA) there will be the presentation of the book “I was Rodin’s lover” by Annalisa Fabbri, with musical intervention Of Antoine Fernandez. Annalisa Fabbri, Writer resident in Faenza, he dedicates himself to studying the life and poetics of artists through biographical novels. Among his most recent books: Vincent, last act And The flowers of Montmartre. I was Rodin’s lover is winner of national literary prize 2024 “The Ginestra”, biographies section. He is third in the Alda Merini National Award.
Antoine Fernandez, musicianoriginally from the Camargue, raised with the Gipsy family, lived for many years in Paris, where he studied and played in various cabarets, boasts collaboration with famous artists, with world tours and television appearances.
The musical pieces of chansonniers French will accompany the words of the writer, interviewed by Marisa Tronconiand, as in a profound and restorative dialogue, they will make even more explicit, with their atmospheres, the universality of feelings that the book talks about: thepassionate love between the young sculptor Camille Claudel And the mature artist Auguste Rodin. Then the scandal, the symbolic and effective expropriation of her creativity, her closure in the mental hospital for the last thirty years of Camille’s life. Especially in this last part the tenderness by the writer Annalisa Fabbri, giving voice to the sculptress’s unsent letters, to her silence, and the denunciation towards the family, the society of the time which does not allow creative, transgressive attitudes on the part of the sculptress and, in general, of women, is strengthened. The same title “I was Rodin’s lover” is deliberately ironic, referring to the definition of the artist only in relation to his relationship with Rodin.
The event, which takes place in the suggestive Borgo dei Crivellari, is part of a project, already present in recent years, which the creator and guest Luciano Visani Muller, intends to enhance and enhance the magical and rigorous space of the Borgo, a place that many people from Rio de Janeiro are fond of, finding in it a silent but active origin of many memories. In this, the worthy recovery carried out makes the village a meeting place, between friendly people, on the Vena del Gesso, a few steps from the Senio river, a river that still bears the signs of the flood with its bridges torn up or made unusable , with its catwalks that will gradually reappear.
It will be present mayor of Riolo Terme, Federica Malavolti.
