CARMELO BENE - ULTIMA APPARIZIONE PUBBLICA (INEDITO) 2000 - un documento di Tiziano Sossi

The final appearance of the great artist, often underrated but for decades the object of a cult that has never faded. Here he was 62 years old. As always, he was ironic, even about his state of health. Palazzo Isimbardi in Milan, 2000 (now 26 years ago). Carmelo Bene read his Mal de Fiori for the first and last time, a tribute and citation in the title to Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. He was awarded the Poet of Music prize by Riccardo Muti. Organized by Elisabetta Sgarbi. This is the only existing live audio recording; a recording of the reading with the mixer was not planned. Given the frequent recycling of my videos on YouTube, in this case, since I had decided to keep it for myself, I then decided to share it on the condition that in addition to the logos, I also included my monogram in transparency.
