Flavio Costantini (1926 – 2013) ‘The Art of Anarchy’

Flavio Costantini was born in Rome, Italy, in 1926. He served in the Italian Navy before becoming a commercial graphic artist in 1955. He has illustrated several books including The Art of Anarchy (1974), The Shadow Line (1989) and Letters from the Underworld (1997).

More often than not it is the artist, writer or poet, rather than the historian or sociologist, who succeed in capturing the spirit of an age; in so doing, they make an important contribution to our understanding of society. Flavio Costantini is such a person. He sadly passed away on 20th May 2013.

I’m almost certain they did the cover to the Alexandre Skirda Makhno book too

OH WAIT, IT IS IN THE PHOTO OF THEM IN THE BACKGROUND!

Totally reading the book for the last few weeks, sad to lose such a gifted artist

Guide to Italian literature

pollicinor:

La letteratura del nostro Paese secondo Lonely Planet

i typically reduce all of italian literature to “orientalist florentine jerks writing corny ass poetry about 12 yr old girls they met this one time.” but this is pretty succinct.. tho it’s missing out on italophone migration literature like the fiction works of amara lakhous, pap khouma, and igiaba scego, who imo are the most relevant.

“

The field of gender studies in Italy has been strongly influenced by Italian feminist theory of the 1970s and 1980s and is still strongly marked by an essentialism that leaves the male/female dichotomy largely unquestioned. For decades, Italian gender studies have not embraced intersectionality to any significant extent, and when they have, they have not applied this methodology to the Italian context.

Racist Taunts, Death Threats Greet Italy's First Black Minister

AFRICANGLOBE - It was hailed as a giant step forward for racial integration in a country that has long been ill at ease with its growing immigrant population. But Cecile Kyenge’s appointment as Italy’s first Black cabinet minister has instead exposed the nation’s ugly race problem,

this disgusts me but doesn’t surprise me, unfortunately. yet so many italians tried to assure me that razzismo è di meno in italia. yeah right.
