Alda Alda Merini
Merini ( Milan, March 21 1931) is a of the major poets contemporary Italian. His poetry, made up of ardent and profound visionary yet subdued restlessness, placing it among the greatest writers of the twentieth century and early 2000s .
Born into a family of reduced (an insurance company employee father and housewife mother, three younger brothers, a sister and a brother, the writer brings up albeit with a certain detachment in his poem), a girl attends Merini vocational schools at the Institute " Laura Solera Mantegazza "and tries, without success (for failing to pass the test in Italian) to be admitted to the Liceo Manzoni. During the same period, he also studied the piano , instrument she particularly loved.
Biography and poetry began as a young author, only 15 years, under the guidance of Giacinto Spagnoletti who was the discoverer of his artistic talent.

Nello stesso anno nasce la prima figlia, Emanuela, e al medico curante della bambina la Merini dedica la raccolta di versi "Tu sei Pietro" che viene pubblicata nel 1961 .
Dopo "Tu sei Pietro" inizia un triste periodo di silenzio e di isolamento, dovuto all'internamento al "Paolo Pini", che dura fino al 1972 (anche se intervallato da alcuni ritorni in famiglia, durante i quali nascono altri tre figli).
Diario di una diversa
Si alterneranno in seguito periodi di salute e malattia che durano fino al 1979 quando la Merini ritorna a scrivere dando il via ai suoi testi più intensi sulla drammatica e sconvolgente esperienza del manicomio, testi contenuti in "La Terra Santa", che sarà pubblicato da Scheiwiller nel 1984 . Nel frattempo ( 1981 ) muore il marito e, rimasta sola, la poetessa dà in affitto una camera della sua abitazione al pittore Charles; inizia in questo periodo a comunicare telefonicamente con il poeta Michele Pierri che, in quel difficile periodo del ritorno nel mondo letterario, aveva dimostrato di apprezzare his poetry.

At that time he wrote poems the twenty-portraits of "La Gazza Ladra" (1985 ) and texts for Pierre. Also in Taranto finished "The other truth. Diary of a different."
the Merino returns to Milan in July 1986 again after experiencing the horrors of the asylum of Taranto: you put in therapy with Dr. Marc Rizzo alla quale dedica più di una poesia.

Diario di una diversa", il suo primo libro in prosa al quale seguiranno "Fogli bianchi" nel 1987 e "Testamento" (del 1988 ).
Caffè sui navigli
Sono questi, per la Merini, anni fecondi dal punto di vista letterario e di conquista di una certa serenità. Nell'inverno del 1989 la poetessa frequenta coffee-library "Chimera", located not far from his home on Navigli , offering coffee to the friends of his manuscripts. Will be born in this period books like "Delirio amoroso" ( 1989) and "The Agony of the figures" ( 1990). In the following years several publications
consolidate the return of the literary scene of the writer.

In 1997 Girardi is published by the poetry collection "The Fox and the curtain," with illustrations by Gianni Casari , where it is nowhere clearer than the technique of poetry that is born spontaneously in oral and transcribed others. This phenomenon, which - although it typically contemporary, with the choice of orality to the disadvantage of writing - for now only remains within the universe of contemporary poetry . There is therefore about Merini un'oralità that leads to the phenomenon of more and more towards very short texts, and finally to ' aphorism .
Aphorisms and magic
These were the years in which production of Merino becomes aphoristic very rich, as evidenced in 1997 "The General Catalogue of Editions Pulcinoelefante", published by Scheiwiller. In 1999

The volume is illustrated in the drawings Alberto Casiraghi , friend, poet and editor of the Merino has solicited, collected and together with his little books "Pulcinoelefante", this new vocation.
