Imperdonabili \\ Simone Weil - David Fiesoli

With David Fiesoli, journalist and host "Above all, the poet is unforgivable," wrote Cristina Campo, whose birth centenary falls this year. Unforgivable is he who, by strenuously fighting, escapes the opportunistic and degrading dynamics of his time, because he is driven by "a devouring passion for truth," and like poets, is capable of total vision, belongs to no current, but—against the current—navigates them all. Like those writers and poets whom Guido Ceronetti defines as "spinners of the inexpressible, magically feminine beings from which the word descends": Simone Weil and Cristina Campo, whom we will talk about together with Anna Akhmatova. Irreducible, clear, prophetic, they are three cornerstones of poetry and thought. Simone Weil (Paris, February 3, 1909 – Ashford, August 24, 1943) Nothing good is ever lost "Never has the individual been so completely abandoned to the mercy of a blind collectivity; never have men been more incapable not only of subordinating their actions to thoughts, but even of thinking."
