About this ebook
The first meeting between La Rivista di Engramma and Giovanni Testori focuses on two typical themes for the journal: writing and figure. Testori. Scrittura e figura is Engramma's portrait dedicated to Testori 100 years after his birth and 30 years after his death. It takes as its reference Willy Varlin's portrait of Testori chosen as the issue's cover. The issue includes a first part centred on Testori's writing: Chiara Pianca in “Quasi fudesse ecce homo de paese” writes an in-depth and detailed essay on the complex drafting of Ambleto. Alongside this, Luca D'Onghia in his article Lettera luterana su Edipus gives a possible identification of the “scarrozzante” king of Thebes. The remainder of the issue is dedicated to art and the figure. Primarily Testori. Figure dell'informe, by Arturo Mazzarella, which links Testori's thought to 20th-century aesthetic philosophy and the notion of formlessness. This is followed by Apostasia della carne. Fatica e liberazione della materia in Giovanni Testori e Francis Bacon, by Filippo Perfetti: a contribution that reveals some traits of Testori's and Bacon's conception of painting, and how pictorial matter is linked to human life and biology. Davide Dall'Ombra, with Nell'anno del libro su Giovanni Testori e Roberto Longhi, talks about the Testori-Longhi relationship through their exchange of letters, an anticipation that introduces his forthcoming publication Con Roberto Longhi. Lettere e scritti. 1951-1990. The section is closed by the republication of a writing by Giovanni Testori (for which we thank the Associazione Giovanni Testori, and in particular Giuseppe Frangi): Grünewald, il trionfo e la bestemmia. In its concluding part, the issue focuses on the theatrical version of “In exitu”. Here we give for the first time an edition of the reduction used by Testori on his novel for the script. Accompanying the text and the reader is Piermario Vescovo, author of a brief Nota, which briefly attempts to indicate the relevance and further possibility of interrogation of the theatrical script. The conversation “In piena luce, in piena ombra” is a dialogue between Franco Branciaroli, the actor for whom the text of "In exitu" was cut, and Piermario Vescovo. Maestro no, incipit and title of the interview conducted by Antonio Ria with Testori, closes (provisionally) this issue through the voice of its protagonist.
