Nelo Risi analyzed closely

Abstract

The first section of this text analyzes the “experiences” that give rise to Nelo Risi’s work. The remaining sections first examine the weaving of perspectives in his subsequent works, and secondly underscore the public and private occasions which shape the particular expressiveness and magnetic memorability of Risi’s style. This study is original in that it introduces the author by following the thread of an unpublished epistolary and iconographical documentation, a “correspondence” of intertwined strands and motifs that sometimes converge to each other. Risi’s word will definitively break out from the papers of such correspondence by showing his profile of both man and poet as if they were reflections from a mirror.
