Morte a Venezia
In 2013 (but really in 2014) the volume Morte a Venezia appeared, edited by Francesco Bono, Luigi Cimmino and Giorgio Pangaro. In this very rich and multifaceted volume on Luchino Visconti’s classic film Death in Venice/ Morte a Venezia (1971) I included an article on links with painting an photography. You can read it online now: ‘Morte a Venezia fra fotografia, pittura e cinema’, in: Francesco Bono, Luigi Cimmino and Giorgio Pangar in: Morte a Venezia (Cosenza: Rubbettino, 2013), pp. 129-148, courtesy of the editors. For me this publication was a stepping stone towards my monography Reframing Luchino Visconti: Film and Art.
The volume received raving reviews in and outside Italy between 2013 and 2015. Check out: Alessandro Tinterri, ‘Morte a Venezia.
