Above right in the GIF a print signed by Andrea Pazienza in 1983. This print, now in my Genoese tiny loft, has been a cipher and imprint of my apartment in Via Filzi 10 in Milan, i.e. my beloved and envied loft with a very strange heritage I inherited in spite of myself – the engineer who rented the studio to me died suddenly in the mountains during a climbing in Switzerland, where he lived with his new younger companion he had his house in usufruct until his death, a legacy of his wife to whom he had survived and which would then be handed over to a famous Milanese medical institution, which had lent palliative care to the lady in her last days. A sad, pining and melancholic story, but very beautiful, painful and romantic, at least in one direction.
The emblazoned Milanese medical institution made a use that could not have been worse: after denying me and my roommates a slight lowering of the rent, with the result that we had to go – I resolved to move around, away from Milan, at the time my heart beat for Berlin, so I relocated there, definitively, or at least that was what I thought. One time I returned to Milan for a medical issue, I already hadn’t lived there for three months, but with my rucksack on the very early morning once got off from the night train from Stuttgart I went there like a sleep-walker and for a time resembling hours and hours, under the closed windows of the mezzanine that had been my dwelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pazienza’s print was displayed in the studio between the two windows, the same ones that I was now starring at from the outside. But the press, on my return from Stuttgart, had fortunately already been rescued from the neglect typical of 90% of Italian institutions, not only public – otherwise it would be remained<\/g> in the apartment now closed for 15 years, what for a blamable behaviour – so that when I look at it now hanging on another wall and in another city I remember myself of those super beautiful years with cheerful nostalgia. I believe that it is representation itself, the vignette that makes nostalgia less bitter-sweet and more peppery. Thanks Paz<\/g>.

Zanardi is a fictional comic book character created by Andrea Pazienza (1956-1988) and the protagonist of a series of comic stories made in the eighties. He debuted in 1981 in the magazine Frigidaire. A perfidious and amoral high school student, he became representative of the generation of young Italians in the early 1980s. Massimo Zanardi, known as Zanna, is a tall, thin young boy with an aquiline nose, blue eyes – with a cold and impassive look – and blond hair with a pronounced tuft, a repeating student at the Bologna high school during the early 1980s; in the first stories he is 21 years old while in the last he claims to be 23; he is extremely cynical and evil, without scruples or values; makes use of all kinds of drugs. He has friends: Roberto Colasanti known<\/g> as Colas and Sergino<\/g> Petrilli known as Pietra. He has committed a long series of reprehensible acts, from theft to murder; he is fatherless and has a sister. Drive a black Golf. Pazienza himself said of the character, in an interview: \u00abZanardi’s main characteristic is emptiness. The absolute emptiness that permeates every action “.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
