Finché un giorno, nel silenzio di una radura, una voce lo prega: "Accudiscimi".

L'ultima vita di Carmelo Bene. Dobbiamo essere grati a Luisa Viglietti – scrive Goffredo Fofi – di averci restituito un Carmelo Bene quotidiano, semplice e vicino ma pur sempre diverso e anzi unico: gli ultimi anni di un grande artista, attivo e progettante fino agli estremi momenti di una vita densissima.

E questo si pensa anche leggendo questi vivi e bellissimi ricordi.

Hans Holbein the Younger is chiefly celebrated for his beautiful and precisely realised portraiture, which includes representations of Henry VIII, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Anne of Cleves, Jane Seymour and an array of the Tudor lords and ladies he encountered during the course of two sojourns in England.
