Patrick Vicinelli. The poetry and action. [1 part]

[Patrick and Alberto Vicinelli Grifi]

Vicinelli Patrick was born in 1943 in Bologna, where he died of AIDS 9 January 1991. Middle-class family, good reads and good studies, Patrizia Vicinelli had his first confrontation with the contemporary Italian literary scene, on the horizon neoavanguardistiche research, namely the Group '63. His first appearance dates back to 1966, a conference organized by the '63 Group, in La Spezia. The first printed text of Patrick, It happens, however, had appeared already in 1962, the first, craft magazine Adriano Spatola, "Bab Ilu. Patrizia è stata attiva in svariati ambiti: ad esempio il cinema, collaborando con i registi Tonino de Bernardi e Alberto Grifi, (a Grifi fu anche legata sentimentalmente) e ciò è testimoniato da film su regia di Grifi, In viaggio con Patrizia 1965), Transfert per camera verso Virulentia , (1966-1967); su regia di Tonino De Bernardi invece ha fatto il film A Patrizia (1968 – 1970) – girato principalmente tra Torino e Marocco - in cui racconta di un viaggio in Marocco.

Important also in collaboration with Gianni Castagnoli, in turn, an artist, but in the visual field, (remember his experiments with the Xerox machine), his companion and father of Giò Castagnoli, Patrick produced the film with him Night 'and' the day (1973 to 1976), the coast During the millennia (video performance1987), and other video works distampo poetic / visual.

In the eighties, precisely in 1983, he starred as a painter (a role she also practiced in the real alternative to that of a poet), in director Claudio Caligari, toxic Love, where a group of addicts Roman spent his dramatic routine between the beach of Ostia and the capital city through heroin use, small quarrels, petty theft, and inevitable trouble with the police, in the faint hope of changing lives and detoxify. Patrick Vicinelli, never wanted to hide his drug addiction. This is proven by the facts, the evidence gathered so far by people who knew her well but also less well, perhaps too bitter memories sometimes, sometimes carved from frivolous considerations, each of which we take the reflection of that reality to the limit which is the world of Patricia. We enclose an extract from the film here Toxic Love, where Patrick covers the role of a drug addict painter:
