Mario Gianni

Short film by Paolo Brunatto with Roberto Benigni performing a fake political rally in Capalbio. Shot for the Italian television.

The film shows a woman mysteriously wandering, pistol in hand, through the streets of Lourdes, France. It is a portrait of Patrizia Vicinelli, the great poet active in the avant- garde Gruppo 63, who worked with the leading magazines of the time, close to both the theatre and the experimental cinema of Alberto Grifi and Gianni Castagnoli. —Tate Modern
