Imagine an identikit put together by a drunk agent of forensics with the most random pieces of ID cards to nag people in various fields, from more to less "serious". For example: Marco Pannella, Alain Delon, Red Nichols, Fred Hammond, Francois Villon, Renzo Arbore, Vittorio Sgarbi, Federico Zeri, Roberto D'Agostino, Porfirio Rubirosa, Oscar Wilde, Lucio Dalla, Woody Allen etc.. Oh I forgot, add more jazz-fan freckled and bespectacled teenager who managed to find one of those who during the concerts will bring to the stage swinging his head and tapping your foot, the rhythm is almost always wrong. Here, put in a blender and you get something vaguely similar to Boris Vian. amateur of genius, and genius dell'irrisione dell'anticonformismo, great provocateur, just as versatile, the undisputed king of the 50 Paris by night, a friend of Sartre and Juliette Greek, playboy night owl and caustic satirist, playwright and columnist, engineer and singer, moralist and seducer of women, along with anarchist and worldly, and combative pacifist, music critic of jazz trumpeter and New Orleans-style ("trompinette" called his instrument).
Tramp elegiac "Truand Elegiaque, he said Lucien Malson, a critic of Le Monde . It meant nothing less than "beggar-poet," one of those characters that magic and ragged force of Kerouac end to escape the eyes of readers to become charismatic heroes, masters of life. "Thus began in 1983 in the newspaper Il Globo the first essay-portrait appeared in Italy on Boris Vian, typically French genius who never could establish itself in Italy, if only because the Italians would not have understood, much less - as they are touchy and provincial - would have liked his humor. avvocaticchi Italy in the, from Bari to Milan, Boris Vian was chased by thousands of civil and criminal complaints filed by small men Donnette and of no value.
But few people like him have a following in France that has lasted decades, until a trespass in Mito.

But while housewives and retired people who see the TV will never know, thankfully Italy has been redeemed in Pitigliano with a curious and relaxed festival and conference devoted to Vian. Simple, irreverent, no-nonsense, at best with a bit of brilliant improvisation, the funny, as would have pleased him. But let the word to "Viani" Marcello Baraghini, famous creator of Alternative Press and leader since the 70s of alternative culture in Italy, who coordinated the organization of the unusual event.
"The twelve hours of the sixth Festival of Pitigliano-resistant, dedicated to Boris Vian, a tribute that I made that first hoped for, overcoming By far the most optimistic forecasts, not only by number of participants, but to give the collective body of voices, music and no, the inner voices of all those who participated. Not only to remember, that great provocateur Boris Vian, but also to try to inspire him to a new social and cultural resistance, as well as artistic. "
" Il Teatro Salvini, kindly granted by the municipal administration, was packed in each order, as well as two spaces, and Library roads in the Ghetto where the new plot to be taken has always been tight. I could already inventory, and begin to reconvene strong, passionate, in fact accomplices. Even a few days
- Baraghini says - I begin to reconvene for next December.
"Le jour de Vian" as a fixed recurrence, in other words, dealing with disobedient, culture, not only to those non-violent and anti-militarists, "to reread this masterpiece poetic hymn to the resistance and disobedience of diserteur. The Respondent
Festival of Literature, this year dedicated to Boris Vian, was held in Pitigliano Monday, December 7 from the afternoon until late night. The events were free and without sponsors.
The festival was born five years ago "to bring an oasis of strength, freedom and imagination, a thousand kilometers away from the limelight and glitter of the great events crowded with dancers and dwarfs." It had started so eccentric. The first edition had as protagonists - Baraghini recalled the invitation, with a taste for provocation - "four illiterate writers: a farmer, a charcoal, grave robbers and a Cocciaio, after being told that their language had their stories published in a book, and so have become writers. Because, you know, "life is written" or, better yet, "life is literature."
In subsequent editions, until that last year, "Matti make good friends long, have come and gone, among many authors such as Gary Snyder, John Zerzan, John Day, John Sinclair, to name a few of the dissidents who have made history pensiero moderno, assieme a una moltitudine di amici e compagni.
Questo sesto festival è stato interamente dedicato a Boris Vian, per festeggiarlo a cinquant'anni dalla sua scomparsa. Per chi lo conosce e lo ama, un'occasione per riproporre l'attualità delle sue provocazioni culturali. Per chi lo conosce appena o per niente, un'occasione preziosa per cominciare a farlo.
Con Michele Vietri, traduttore e curatore dell'ultima opera di Boris Vian e animatore del quartetto che porta il nome dell'artista, abbiamo sintetizzato l'idea che ci ha spinti a promuovere questa sesta edizione, accompagnata da un programma aperto, naturalmente, a ogni contaminazione.

JAZZ . The great French guitarist, Django Reinhardt, the Gypsy, is still considered the greatest European jazz and original. Here he is in a rare recording of music (with Image) while running Fine and Dandy con la chitarra elettrica, in un linguaggio che dallo swing puro guarda ormai al be-bop, Segno ulteriore che tra i due stili e periodi ci fu un rapporto di evoluzione, non di contrapposizione.
