The artist and the printer: About Giulia Napoleone read biographical note and critical point for the book Essenze, assenze. Sergio Pandolfini is considered one of the leading Italian art printers, specializing in entirely handmade artists’ books, and his Il Bulino brand is renowned.           * * * CANTO DEL RISVEGLIO • Osvaldo Coluccino - Alfonso Filieri Artist book: 2 unpublished poems (Al cielo s’approssima, Richiamano in tinnanti dardi), from the unpublished collection Cieli d’assenzio (1987-1989) by Osvaldo Coluccino, and 3 original works of art (mixed techniche) by Alfonso Filieri (2022). The object: unique pieces handmade by Alfonso Filieri. The first pair of book-works (“the whites”) each contains a different work of art made with natural fibres, pigments and waxes, and the texts are printed on Canson paper; The second work-book (“the green”) is handmade paper, pigments and waxes, size cm. 29,5x21. Archivio Orolontano, Roma 2022. The artist: among the events of Alfonso Filieri we remember in 1977 the exhibition Milan instead of Milan (Milan, Palazzo Reale), together with Marcello Avenali, Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Alik Cavaliere and Arnaldo Pomodoro. For decades he has dedicated himself to the creation of refined book-works, which are kept in museums as MoMa in New York, Center Pompidou in Paris, Museum of Art and Literature in Tokyo, National Library in St. Petersburg, National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, Historical Archive of the Venice Biennale, National Central Library of Florence, MART of Trento and Rovereto… Among the authors of his editions for example the poets Andrea Zanzotto, Emilio Villa, Edoardo Sanguineti, Sandro Penna; among the artists Toti Scialoja, Achille Pace, Tommaso Cascella, Pablo Echaurren, Nelio Sonego, Loredana Müller, among the critics Enrico Crispolti, Achille Bonito Oliva, Filiberto Menna… – Critical point: Filieri’s art, whose technique is almost a secret, despite the declared pigments, waxes, glues, solvents… (“They are aristocrats […] perfumed books” wrote for example Bonito Oliva), as much as the aesthetic-materic results are ineffable: elusive tactile qualities, cottony filaments, fragile ripples, frayed veils, volatility of silk… all of this participates to a delicate dynamism or constant mutability. An art close to traditional oriental philosophies, it is no coincidence that he often combines his works with ancient haiku. (o. c.)           * * * UNA ECO • Osvaldo Coluccino - Giulia Napoleone Artist book: 2 unpublished poems (Tende archi bellezza e si ritrae, Ogni percorso propiziai all’indietro) from the unpublished collection Cieli d'assenzio (1987-1989) by Osvaldo Coluccino, and 1 original work of art (engraving, punch on copper plate) by Giulia Napoleone (2022).

DIKTAION • Osvaldo Coluccino - Bruno Ceccobelli Artist book: 1 unpublished poem (Diktaion), from the unpublished collection Quale leggerezza (1990) by Osvaldo Coluccino, and 2 original works of art (watercolor, oil and wax pastels on paper), that is 18 works, unique pieces, 2 for each book, by Bruno Ceccobelli (2022). The object: 9 copies signed by the poet and the artist, poems printed on handmade paper made in India according to ancient tradition, 100% cotton, 250 gr., size cm. 45x32. Graphic project and printing by Osvaldo Coluccino. Roberto Rodriguez Publisher, Pescara 2022. This is the third of a collection of artist books designed by Osvaldo Coluccino made with three artists of different styles but united by the particularity of having strong ties with poetry. The artist: Museums around the world host works by Bruno Ceccobelli (Monte Castello di Vibio 1952), including MoMA of New York, Uffizi in Florence - Vasari Complex, MAMbo in Bologna, MACRO in Rome, GAM of Turin, MUMOK of Vienna, San Diego Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Groninger Museum, Civic Gallery of Modena, Farnesina Collection of Rome… Critical point: Ceccobelli’s art is an outsider art of the late twentieth century (as it was previously, albeit with different results, e.g. that of Alberto Savinio); it has been compared in some respects to that of Alberto Burri and sometimes considered post-transavantgarde, however, also thanks to his study of alchemy, oriental philosophies and theosophy, he comes to express his own spiritual symbolism, with metaphysical force, that differentiates his research from those of other references.

* * * ESSENZE, ASSENZE • Osvaldo Coluccino - Giulia Napoleone, 2022 Artist book: 3 unpublished poems (Essenza della montagna, Unione con le assenze, Il viaggio di ritorno) from the unpublished collection Quale leggerezza (1990) by Osvaldo Coluccino, and 2 original works of art (pastels on paper), that is 18 unique pieces, 2 for each book, by Giulia Napoleone (2022). The object: 9 copies signed by the poet and the artist, poems printed on handmade paper made in India according to ancient tradition, 100% cotton, 250 gr., and artist works printed on handmade paper Hahnemühle 300 gr., size cm. 45x32. Graphic project and printing by Osvaldo Coluccino. Roberto Rodriguez Publisher, Pescara 2022. This is the second of a collection of three artist books designed by Osvaldo Coluccino made with three artists of different styles but united by the particularity of having strong ties with poetry. The exhibitions: 1) Libri e artisti (displayed in the window as main work), L’Originale Gallery, Montenapoleone area, Milan, 23.11.-23.12.2022; 2) Pietra Acqua, Areapangeart Gallery, Bellinzona, 17.3-30.6.2023; 3) Osvaldo Coluccino, “Incontri d’Arte”, Areapangeart, Bellinzona, 12.6.2023. The artist: Giulia Napoleone (Pescara 1936) has exhibited in prestigious exhibitions, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma, Uffizi di Firenze - Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe, Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, Calcografia Nazionale di Roma, Biblioteca d’Arte e Architettura Poletti in Modena, Centre Pompidou in Paris, MAMbo (Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Bologna), Palazzo Strozzi di Firenze, Biennale di Venezia (with an artist book), and in various nations in Europe and America Important museums house works by her. Critical point: Giulia Napoleone’s work represents a unicum in the international artistic panorama, comparable, for rigor, radical concentration, silence, purity and a certain poetic lyricism – albeit with different aesthetic results – to that of Giorgio Morandi, and is characterized by a maniacal, slow and precise work on detail, by the sensitization of surfaces and by the search for the absolute (in her delicate blues of pastels on paper and, as a specialist in art of engraving, in the mezzotint, punch etc.).

QUALE LEGGEREZZA • Osvaldo Coluccino - Tommaso Cascella Artist book: 3 unpublished poems (La migrazione, Mare, Quale leggerezza) from the unpublished collection Quale leggerezza (1990) by Osvaldo Coluccino, and 2 original works of art (mixed technique on paper), that is 18 works, unique pieces, 2 for each book, by Tommaso Cascella (2022). The object: 9 copies signed by the poet and the artist, 100% cotton handmade paper, made in India according to ancient tradition, size cm. 45x32. Graphic project and printing by Osvaldo Coluccino. Roberto Rodriguez Publisher, Pescara 2022. This is the first of a collection of three artist books designed by Osvaldo Coluccino made with three artists of different styles but united by the particularity of having strong ties with poetry. The artist: Tommaso Cascella (Rome 1951) has exhibited in international prestigious exhibitions in Berlin, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Klagenfurt, Bratislava, China, Slovakia, at the Venice Biennale, Rome Quadrennial, MACRO, State Council, University of Rome… In 1981 he founded the poetry and art magazine “Cervo Volante” directed by Adriano Spatola and then by Edoardo Sanguineti and Achille Bonito Oliva. Various museums house works by him. His artist book Il megacostruttoredivoli with Alfonso Filieri is present at the MoMA in New York. Critical point: Cascella’s is a poetic art, with its “lightness” of the soul, in a timeless dimension, and which, due to the events of our artist, tells us of its closeness also to the the poets of the word, and making us think to the poetics of artists from whom, in some ways, he comes, like Paul Klee, Joan Mirò, Osvaldo Licini, Fausto Melotti and also, for the frankness of the colors (the red so vivid, the captivating blue…) to Matisse.

MANTO • Osvaldo Coluccino - Franco Guerzoni
Artist book: the entire unpublished collection of poems entitled Manto by Osvaldo Coluccino (2001-2003), and 5 original graphic works (mixed technique), always slightly different from one book to another, by Franco Guerzoni (2021).
The object: 41 copies of the book signed by the poet and the artist, printed by hand with chalcographic techniques and hand touches, and for texts with lead movable type, handmade paper Magnani (pages) and Silky Indian paper (cover), 72 pages, size cm. 41x31x5. Printed by the Manfredi Brothers Laboratory, Reggio Emilia, Roberto Rodriguez Publisher, Pescara 2021.
The exhibitions: Manto can be found at the most prestigious Italian antiquarian and rare artist books stores, such as Pontremoli Libreria Antiquaria in Milan, Giorgio Maffei Rare Books on 20th Century Arts in Turin, Marini Studio Bibliografico in Rome, Le Muse Studio Bibliografico in Reggio Emilia.
The artist: Franco Guerzoni (Modena 1948) has exhibited in prestigious international exhibitions, Munich, Stuttgart, France, Basel, Venice Biennale, Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Museo del Novecento in Milan, MAMbo in Bologna, GAM in Turin… Important museums house works by him. He publishes among others with Skira.
Critical point: Guerzoni’s is a poetics of memory, of the archeology, which is found in the “ruins”, in the shattered escapes of a passage, which emerge from matter as ancestral or unconscious places. His works sometimes have transparency and extreme delicacy of a diaphanous transit, at other times have the intense trace expressed for example in its light blue, the ultramarine blue, Prussian blue, with a metaphysical capacity.

His artist book Pantomima is present at MoMA in New York.
Critical point: Gastini is a poet of painting, with his essentials signs (sometimes remembering, in a certain way, those of the oriental traditional arts), with the poetics of the fragment, the tender or hieratic stain suspended in the void, the radical rarefaction, working on different surfaces (paper, walls etc.) often with asymmetrical boundaries, working on solidity as well as transparency; constantly reflecting on the dialectic between virtual and real space of the work.

LO SCORRERE DEL TEMPO DI UN BARATTOLO DI VETRO • Wainer Vaccari - Osvaldo Coluccino
Artist book: 11 original serigraphs by Wainer Vaccari (2007), and 1 dvd with original music by Osvaldo Coluccino, After, electroacoustic music (2007), and video by Giulio Fregni (2008).
The object: 39 copies, hand printed book, texts composed with linotype, hand made paper Hahnemühle, size cm. 24,5x17x3. Afterword by Gabriele Tinti, graphic design by Franco Mello, print by Calcografia “Al Pozzo”, Dogliani Castello, Il Gran Ballo delle Arti editions, Turin 2009.
The exhibitions: 1) Are you a lucky artist?, Biblioteca d’Arte e Architettura Poletti, FestivalFilosofia, Modena 2010, cover of the catalog Skira edition; 2) Provocazioni e corrispondenze. Franco Mello fra arte e design, Fondazione Plart - Museo Madre, Napoli March 9-Giune 3, 2017.
The artist: Wainer Vaccari (Modena 1949) has exhibited in prestigious international exhibitions. Works by him are kept eg. in Palazzo Chigi, Italian Parliament (Rome), in the Stedelijkmuseum in Amsterdam, in the Horsenskunstmuseum in Horsens (Denmark), in the Musée d'art et d’histoire in Neuchâtel…
Critical point: Vaccari has chosen the figurative art; modernity is never a question of whether the figurative or the abstract is appropriate. Often his paintings represent imaginary human beings in a sort of theatrical representation of the unconscious; when, as here, he tries his hand at “still life”, of our days, in this case “banal” jars of olives or pickles, he demonstrates his mastery in painting hieratic and transparent architectures in an almost photographic three-dimensionality, personalized by interference of sensible signs. (o. c.)

BUNKER POETICO • Marco Nereo Rotelli with also a poem by Osvaldo Coluccino, at Biennale di Venezia, 2001
Art installation by Marco Nereo Rotelli, poem Libera by Osvaldo Coluccino exhibited in the installation.
The Poetic Bunker is a work created for the 49th Venice Biennale by Marco Nereo Rotelli: for three hundred meters, at Arsenale, a cluster of doors, windows and other rubble from flooded areas, mixed with metal panels with a shiny and specular surface, supports verses made for the occasion by major poets from different parts of the world on the theme of “the other”.
Marco Nereo Rotelli (Venice 1955) has exhibited in prestigious international exhibitions. He created an interrelation between art and the different disciplines of knowledge. Hence his involvement in his search for philosophers, musicians, photographers, directors, but mainly his relationship is with poetry which, over time, has become a constant reference for his work. In addition to the poetic bunker, he has created other installations in very prestigious international contexts.

NEUMA Q • Osvaldo Coluccino at Egyptian Museum of Turin, 2010
Acousmatic concert: music by Osvaldo Coluccino, among masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art.
Public presentation by Enzo Restagno, sound engineer Rinaldo Dealbera, light designer Sergio Rissone, Statuary of the Egyptian Museum, Turin, 2010.
The Statuary of the Egyptian Museum of Turin is a very large, long and high hall, which benefits from a stage set by the set designer (Oscar winner) Dante Ferretti. Several prestigious speakers were suspended high up in the void along the hall, while some large cubes of subwoofer, placed behind the statues, gave an incredible depth to the sound, which flowed transparently in the haunted air of that space. Fascinating friction between the very ancient and the very modern, which gave rise to the “timeless”. Faces of goddesses, gods, sphinxes and pharaohs, imprisoned in the monumental statues were slowly illuminated from the dark and returned in the dark; around two “columns” more than 5 meters high, a serpentine of light slowly twisted… while the music made the hall resound, hovering around statues of over 3000 years ago.

MANIMANIA • Rosetta Berardi - Osvaldo Coluccino, at Manifesta – European Biennial of Contemporary Art, 2008
Art installation: video by Rosetta Berardi, music by Osvaldo Coluccino, Neuma q, for electroacoustic music, at Manifesta 7, Trento, Audi Hangar, September 2008. Her work with the hands of Osvaldo Coluccino was also exhibited in that installation and then given to him as a gift: Intreccio, lambda print on forex, cm 30x40, 2008.
Rosetta Berardi moves between painting, installation and photography; in recent years photography has assumed an important role in her artistic production. She lives and works in Ravenna and has exhibited her works in various renowned exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
It is written on her website in connection with Manimania: “The artist’s gaze turns to the hands, chosen as an instrument of human action. So they are the representation of creativity in all senses. They are ultimately the junction point between abstract and material thought. Hands of powerful people, of poor people, hands of children, hands of old people, calm, nervous hands… follow one another as protagonists in the video”.
