The author disappeared at 75. The passion for the theater, the ability to communicate with readers and give real emotions
A great poet left us,Patrizia Cavalli, one of the most beautiful and clearest voices in Italian literature. She was 75 years old she was in fact born in Todi on April 17, 1947. She left on June 21, the first day of summer, and not by chance. the longest day of the year with a light that makes everything stronger, more intense, a light that conveys emotions. As always has been the poetry of Patrizia Cavalli, since her debut in 1974. With that unforgettable title: My poems will not change the world (Einaudi).
Perhaps Patrizia was right to maintain that that title spoke an absolute truth. But equally true that, if they haven’t changed the world, the verses of Patrizia Cavalli gave authentic emotions to her many readers. Patrizia’s lyrics thrilled with that ability to dress the ancient with new words, stolen from everyday life, today. Rigorous in style, revolutionary in word.
A poet, true to the core. Not only that, an artist capable of improving herself collection after collection: just when most writers give in to repetitiveness Patrizia Cavalli found the way to new horizonsso in recent years he had given us masterful collections: Lazy divinity and lazy lot (Einaudi, 2006); Datura (Einaudi, 2013); Wonderful Life (Einaudi 2020).
And like all great poets Patrizia had another huge passion: the theater. A space that she felt and loved. With her voice, her presence, she had filled theaters all over Italy with memorable evenings. It is no coincidence that another collection by him, also to be remembered, had the title Always open theater (Einaudi 1999). The sadness remains, and with the sadness the tears, of having lost too soon an author who had not yet run out of words to tell the world, life, love.
