Conversational Exercises
On the 3rd of May 2016, Amici della Scala presented in their offices Anna Crespi’s latest written work: Conversational Exercises (Ponte alle Grazie Publishers). A wonderful party was organised to launch the book, a party that saw the participation of many friends, including Alberto Arbasino, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Quirino Principe, Ferruccio Soleri, Carlo Bertelli and many others. The photographs here reproduced are from that occasion. In the brief video, Anna Crespi expresses her thanks and remembers how she has “never organised a party for herself before”!
The book’s subtitle is “interviews with the protagonists of art and culture”. The interviewees are: Alberto Arbasino, Carlo Bertelli, Sylvano Bussotti, Franco Buzzi, Luisa Comencini, Vladimir Denissenkov, Oriella Dorella, Gillo Dorfles, Fabrizio Du Chène de Vère, Umberto Eco, Gastón Fournier-Facio, Luca Francesconi, Daniele Gatti, Giulio Giorello, Lawrence D.
