“Pisa: Land of readers and publishers”: protagonist Andrea Mancini
A land is known by its productions, including literary ones. Tomorrow is the last appointment of “Pisa: Land of readers and publishers”, a series of meetings with the publishers of ours, organized by the Bibliolandia Network, in collaboration with the Eumazio Cultural Association.
The interesting initiative will be broadcast live starting at 7.00 pm on the Facebook page of the Network Bibliolandia. The protagonist of this meeting will be Andrea Mancini who for the occasion will present one of the latest books published by his publishing house, of which he is also the editor. We refer to a book of photographs by Piero Marsili Libelli which recounts the legendary years of the Roman Cellars: “Images of the other world. Photographs from the Roman Cellars ”(La Conchiglia di Santiago, San Miniato 2021).
We will talk about theater, indeed about avant-garde theater, in the years that from the 60s to the 80s, in Rome but also the rest of Italy, were discovered by an extraordinary fury, which not only involved the theater, but also the life of people, actors and spectators. Many of the great masters take part in that season, think for example of Carmelo Bene and Luca Ronconi, but also of theater talents such as Laura Morante, Roberto Benigni, Carlo Verdone, Sergio Castellitto and many others.
The book through the unpublished shots taken from the Piero Marsili Libelli archive, allows you to enter that world and get to know its protagonists up close, through extraordinary photos that tell an era, a season not only of theater.
The conversation will also make it possible to remember great artists such as Piero Marsili Libelli, who cannot be classified in a clarification of photographers: he was a photographer of the avant-garde category theater, but also a photojournalist and also a war photographer. During the meeting, Anna Giannelli will also participate, a protagonist of that era, for years a collaborator of Nico Garrone, critic of the Republic but above all a great friend of that theater that has come to occupy the pages of the most popular magazines.
