To learn more about the thought of Patrizia Cavalli, one of the most important voices in contemporary Italian poetry and the protagonist of the exhibition Il sospetto del paradiso (30 May 2024 – 25 August 2024), you can listen to her speech at the Festival della Mente in Sarzana in 2011, La poesia sa già tutto. A talk divided into two acts, because, says the poet, “speaking poetry and reciting it are two different professions, which cannot be done together and mixed: the loose talk of speech and the closed diction of poetry have two tones of voice, two mental regimes so different that to want to put them together risks weakening both.”
