The Giovanni Testori “pirate”, a poet all in love for the present

Attention to everyone’s human adventure, to the supreme value (“majesty”) of life that flows and often explodes in pain, in tragedy, in a scream in search of meaning. Alessandro Gnocchi’s book on journalistic writings

Pasolini died in 1975, Giovanni Testori began writing on the front page of Corriere della Sera in 1977, one of the last intuitions of Piero Ottone, who was looking for a worthy replacement, in pen and thoughts, of the great Friulian. The great Lombard had already landed in Via Solferino for some time, two months before the night on the lido di Ostia, and he had had the opportunity to defend the meaning of the “scandal” of Salò on those pages; but until that day he had written for the third page: art, culture, reviews.
