A date, April 14, 1985. A letter. Begins: "... I write briefly to apologize for my silence ...." It became the title of the book by Sandro De Fazi, foreword by Elio Pecora, Cross Library Editions. Words addressed to his friend Anna Maria Ortese painter Gaetano Dimauro Nova Siri. The letters are many, some published, many others do not. But even more have been calls for the writer, torrential at any time of day or night. With a growing danger lurking, lose the thread and turn the phone into the thread of laziness and gossip. It is one of the most intense moments of descriptive book De Fazi dedicated to the life of Gaetano Dimauro. Difficult task. Moreover, he writes so honestly: "I am well aware, however, secure the fact - to which I resist - that the writing of this biographical work is the same in spite of myself deeply and with a certain inability to write ...." Can not say
De Fazi. Meanwhile, he says, of a world, that of the "magnificent six", Alberto Moravia, Elsa Morante, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Dacia Maraini, Enzo Siciliano and Dario Bellezza, the Roman school of poetry, recalled in a recent book by Renzo Paris, titled personal life, issues HACC. Dimatteo was part of that world, especially through Beauty that in 1979, so described his work: "... sees the painting as a tragic solar activity, with this painting is to witness the south of a child whose condition is suspended between past and future, between instinct of life and death ... instance." Sumptuous glories and miseries of this wretched time happens in the book De Fazi, trace a history of derailments that become daily, often painful and no rule for who does not want to give any rule, because, he writes, also "the artists are known to be monsters solitary and do not like themselves. "
There are many pages devoted to beauty, which, in his life had only two true friends, one of them is Dimatteo. The "poet damn, wanted to rename the artist in Nova Siri, Depisis and called him "demoted" to the rank of driver. And in that drama that mingles with the life and that has united the two, the artist became a key figure in Lucan, tried to pick isolation Boiled Beauty Castle, the ancient name of Nova Siri. Dimauro was the liberator of Isabella Morra other which sprayed in the wrong way, not that of the nearby Valsinni, where he lived the reclusive poet, but in the domain of his alleged lover Diego Sandoval de Castro. It was a liberation that occurred through the throat, tickled by the skilled hands of the mother of Depisis Lucan, Giuseppina Santarcangelo, or its Mediterranean cuisine, simple and delicious. But, as De Fazi adds, "This is not a memoir, the search for the lost time is impossible." I mean, you go for chips, segments, reviews dazzling as that expressed by Moravia in 1989, the International Fair of Contemporary Art in Bari: "The painting of Dimatteo is refined." De Fazi, warns that later, however, is typical middle-class 'lie' bourgeois and exclusive reasons of social convenience, not for ethical reasons. But there is still a middle class? Or an absence is now able to steal life-blood scandal that cause - not anymore - The works and life of Dimatteo? The artist in Nova Siri, who is bursting with health, it is more just, and this book can only strengthen it, because today has the privilege of even more authentic "enemies." It can only fear the biological processes allies at the time that passes, opponents of the ruthless dreams of earthly glory that everything decomposes. Then, there are only infinite silence. With all the background noise that is difficult to listen. It's no accident that the volume is devoted to silent film star Louise Brooks.
